Undocumented and Unafraid: Student Advocates Speak Out for Immigration Reform
<p>This episode of the Voices for Human Needs podcast features a panel discussion with young organizers and student advocates from the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (<a href="https://nakasec.org/" target="_blank"><u><strong>NAKASEC</strong></u></a>), in addition to the <a href="https://www.krcla.org/" target="_blank"><u><strong>Korean Resource Center</strong></u></a> (KRC), based in Los Angeles, California. On September 21, 2021, thousands of immigration advocates from across the country marched in Washington D.C. to welcome Congress back from their August recess at the “Welcome Back Congress – March for Citizenship, Care, and Climate.” This group of organizers, all of whom are DACA recipients and/or undocumented, discuss how they found the confidence to become more involved in the movement for immigration reform and securing a pathway to citizenship for themselves, and other undocumented communities. </p> <p>Matthew Hernandez (KRC), Ferny Estrada (KRC), Hyunja Norman (<a href="https://wooricenterpa.org/" target="_blank"><u><strong>Woori Juntos</strong></u></a>), and Hwangchan Yu (<a href="https://hanacenter.org/" target="_blank"><u><strong>Hana Center</strong></u></a>) share more about the strength in intersectional organizing and making sure that all immigrant communities are represented in advocacy campaigns to finally secure a pathway to citizenship and permanent protections for undocumented immigrants. Rachel Koelzer, the Communications Manager at <a href="https://nakasec.org/team" target="_blank"><u><strong>NAKASEC</strong></u></a>, also joins us and speaks to the benefits that a pathway to citizenship would have for the Asian immigrant community, specifically in being able to respond to increased incidents of hate and violence.</p> <p>Read more about this episode’s topic, and actions you can take now, at the Voices for Human Needs Blog's Episode Summary: <a href="https://www.chn.org/voices/episode-6-student-advocates-immigration-reform/" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.chn.org/voices/episode-6-student-advocates-immigration-reform/</strong></a></p> <p>Learn more about our other episodes and actions to take on ongoing policy and advocacy campaigns at: <a href="http://bit.ly/voices4humanneeds." target="_blank"><u><strong>http://bit.ly/voices4humanneeds</strong></u><strong>.</strong></a></p> <p>If you have any questions or comments regarding today’s topic or suggestions for future episodes, please go to https://anchor.fm/voices-for-human-needs/message and record a message.

Securing A Pathway To Citizenship & Immigration Reform
<p>There is no better time than now to lend your voice to the fight to secure a pathway to citizenship for millions of immigrants! That’s why this week’s episode of the Voices for Human Needs podcast is all about the ongoing efforts of grassroots advocates, allies in Congress, and directly impacted communities across the country to finally passing legislation that protects millions of Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, and essential immigrant workers from deportation. You’ll hear from long-time immigration advocates Lia Parada, who currently serves as the Director of Legislative Advocacy at<a href="https://theimmigrationhub.org/about-us" target="_blank"><u> </u><u><strong>The Immigration Hub</strong></u></a>, and Diana Pliego, a DACA recipient herself, and Policy Associate with the<a href="https://www.nilc.org/about-us/nilc-staff/" target="_blank"> <u><strong>National Immigration Law Center</strong></u></a>.</p> <p>Lia and Diana share how programs like DACA demonstrate the profound benefits that legal status has to support the educational and professional ambitions of millions of young and talented people. We also discuss why a pathway to citizenship for the millions of essential contributors to the U.S. economy is long overdue and must be fulfilled by members of Congress. Listen in to learn how anyone can take action at the grassroots and federal policy levels to urge Congress to pass a pathway to citizenship in the upcoming budget process and infrastructure legislation.</p> <p>Read more about this episode’s topic, and actions you can take now, at the Voices for Human Needs Blog's <a href="https://www.chn.org/voices/securing-pathway-to-citizenship/" target="_blank"><strong>Episode Summary</strong></a>:<a href="https://www.chn.org/voices-for-human-needs/"> </a>https://www.chn.org/voices/securing-pathway-to-citizenship/</p> <p>If you have any questions or comments regarding today’s topic or suggestions for future episodes, please go to https://anchor.fm/voices-for-human-needs/message and record a message.
