Episode 2: Leaving No One Behind In The Immigration Movement with Angelica Salas
Manage episode 464034477 series 3643330
In the second installment of Reflections: A Race Forward Podcast, recorded at the National Immigrant Integration Conference 2021, Angelica Salas, Executive Director at the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights tells Race Forward’s Hendel Leiva, “What I notice is that immigration and immigrant rights become the one thing that can be sacrificed at the end of a long battle towards progressive justice. And I'm tired of it because I think that it's so important that we engage in a conversation, and an action, and that we have real results that allow our immigrant families to live whole in this country."
Listen in as Angelica passionately talks about her frustrations with the topic of immigration continuously placed at the “bottom of the totem pole” and how “build back better” will mean addressing systemic racism within the United States’ immigration laws.
