In the fifth installment of Reflections: A Race Forward Podcast, recorded at the National Immigrant Integration Conference 2021, Jeff Chang, Senior Advisor at Race Forward, Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy tells Race Forward’s Hendel Leiva, “It's been really important for a lot of folks, many who are at this conference, to be able to encourage folks to really understand how anti-Blackness works in the context of immigration reform. And so I think the idea of solidarity is something that needs to really be put into practice.”

Jeff also talks about the process of working with the brilliant minds brought together for Race Forward’s Butterfly Lab for Immigrant Narrative Strategy, and how he envisions narrative work leading to impactful long-term wins.

In this episode, Shiu-Ming expands on her thoughts about how racial justice, white supremacy, and colonization all came together in a firestorm of events in 2021, and how the “extreme violence” has led to a collective awakening within the immigrant rights movement.
