If we stay focused on our students, we will have successful programs. Period. Excited to be with MD CommunityColleges to hear from leaders in #Maryland #highereducation to discuss transfer success!
One of the largest challenges for #Latinos in #DC is language. Mayor's Office on Latino Affairs works to connect these #migrants to the resources they need-Julio Guity-Martinez #WhenPeopleFlee #CentralAmerica
How we frame issues, impact solutions. Manuel Orozco discussed how practitioners are sometimes prisoners to what is marketable. Framing #drugs as a #heathissue not a #criminalissue may not be popular but may make a difference. #WhenPeopleFlee
Abel Nuñnez from ALIANZA AMERICAS highlights how #lawyers are working within our broken system to help individuals, but #immigration policies cannot be separated from #politics. We must work towards the creation of better laws by creating that political space. #WhenPeopleFlee
Some solutions raised by the #CentralAmerica track: stop criminalizing #migration & rushing cases through that undermine #dueprocess, & take the money out of #privateprisons that lead to longer detentions #WhenPeopleFlee Human Rights First ALIANZA AMERICAS Eleanor Acer
Irregular #migration comes on a spectrum, causing a spectrum of #vulnerabilities and responses to such should also be on a spectrum. There is no one answer because migration has so many push and pull factors #WhenPeopleFlee @louise_arbour IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳
