What symbol could be more famous for the United States of America than the Statue of Liberty. At its very top is the famous poem which reads in part “…..Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free,…..” It is famous because that is the essence of the U. S. , a Country that has welcomed people from all over the world who are in distress, often running for their lives, determined to make a better future for their families. This podcast episode introduces Angelica Salas, Executive Director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA). She has headed the organization since 1999, which incudes offices in Los Angeles, and up and down the State of California. In the process, Ms. Salas has become a national leader in developing programs and advocacy for the millions of immigrants currently living in the United States. She takes us down the road of the fraught and unpredictable relationship of immigrants and refugees to the U. S. and to countries around the world. Listen to what makes up the Coalition and how their work raises the bar in making a more just society for us all.

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.  About, Angelica Salas: https://bit.ly/3tM6nwt Executive Producers: Hendel Leiva & Cheryl Cato Blakemore Associate Producer: Kendy Solis Produced in collaboration with the National Partnership For New Americans

On this episode of the Immigration Today! podcast with Angeline Chen, meet Angelica Salas, the Executive Director of the Coalition of Humane Immigrant Rights also known as CHIRLA.  From 1999 to now, she has transformed CHIRLA into one of the nation's largest and most effective immigrant rights organizations.  CHIRLA is a mass membership immigrant-led organization that empowers immigrants and their families to win local, state, and national policies that advance their human, civil, and labor rights.  Among her achievements include: winning in-state, financial aid, and grant programs for California's undocumented students, winning drivers' licenses for undocumented drivers, decoupling local police departments from immigration enforcement, and winning Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).Angelica is an immigrant from Durango, Mexico, and came to the United States as a child to reunite with her parents.  She comes to her understanding of immigrants and immigration first hand.  She and her entire family lived in the country undocumented, experienced deportation, and were able to legalize their status.  In 2008, she became a U.S. citizen. “When you really think about family separation, just think about your kids and ask, ‘How long could I be away from my children? What would I be willing to risk for them?'  And all of a sudden, the answer is…anything.” I have had the pleasure of knowing Angelica through the YWCA Pasadena, where she was a recipient of the Women for Racial Justice Award at the annual breakfast and has been a valuable supporter of the YWCA.  I am truly inspired by her leadership, voice, and unstoppable drive to help immigrants.  Learn more about CHIRLA and how you can help at www.CHIRLA.org and on IG @chirla_org.  DISCLAIMER – No information contained in this Podcast or on this Website shall constitute financial, investment, legal and/or other professional advice and that no professional relationship of any kind is created between you and podcast host, the guests or Clark Hill PLC.
