Podcasts about detained migrant solidarity committee

In this episode, we discuss the connection between the climate justice movement and the immigration justice movement. As a border community, we are first-hand witnesses of the cruelty of the United States immigration policies. Our community sees kids separated from their mothers and locked in cages, children die under the imprisonment of ICE, the brutality of the Remain in Mexico Policy, and other horrors. How connected is the immigration crisis to the issue of climate change? What is the relationship between both movements and how can both movements work in solidarity? To discuss this topic, we have Destiny Garcia on the show. She is an organizer with the Detained Migrant Solidarity Committee and Fronterizx Fianza Fund. We talk about immigrant abolition, climate refugees, climate reparations and more.

Young community leaders speak at the 9/20/19 El Paso Climate Strike. The climate crisis in an intersectional issue--the problem contains racial and economic dynamics of oppression. Local organizations such as Familias Unidas se Chamizal, Detained Migrant Solidarity Committee, Frontera Water Protectors, and Border Peace Presence share their perspective on the climate crisis.

In this episode, Kim and Katie tackle the mountain of immigration through the lens of Valeria Luiselli’s essay: Tell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questions. This essay is as long as it sounds: around 100 pages (easily read in one or two sittings), but the topics Luiselli encounters and reveals to us readers stayed with us long after we finished the book. Immigration from Central and South America is not just immigration - it’s refuge from war, we discover, and we try to tackle our own country’s viewpoint and treatment of these war refugees. The essay may be easy to read, but it’s not easy to digest.Here are some organizations you can donate to if you feel inspired by this episode or this essay:RAICES, Neta Texas Civiil Rights Project, Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights, Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, Detained Migrant Solidarity Committee, The Florence Project, KIND, ASAP, Women’s Refugee CommissionOr find and support an organization in your community.NEXT BOOK: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones If you have any discussion points, questions, or commentary you want to add to our next episode, or if you want to suggest a book for us to read, email us at clubbingwithfriend@gmail.com, comment below, or contact us using our various social media accounts:Facebook: Book Clubbing with FriendsInstagram: clubbingwithfriendsTwitter: @bookclubwfRemember to subscribe on iTunes, rate, review, and if you’re super nice - like, follow, and share!!
