In this episode of the Heromakers Podcast, Laurie and Ann talk with Julie Schwietert Collazo, founder of Immigrant Families Together, an organization dedicated to reuniting and supporting families separated at the U.S./Mexico border. In 2018, after hearing the story of a mother seeking refuge from Guatemala was detained at the border and separated from her children, Julie went on a mission to reunite them, pulling in volunteers from around the country to help through giving to raise money for her bond and physically transporting her to see her children.Two years later, IFT has helped over 120 people post bond and many more families along the way. In this episode, Julie talks about why she felt so passionate about this issue, how we can all be part of the solution, and what some of these women seeking asylum go through to make a better future for their children. Julie is a heromaker in every sense of the word, pursuing a calling to help others with the gifts and passion she has been given, raising up a new generation that will tell their heroic journeys to find freedom and safety.You can find Immigrant Families Together on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/ImmFamTogether or on IG @immfamtogether.

PART TWO: BOLVANGAR CHAPTERS 13, 14, 15 THIRTEEN Fencing FOURTEEN Bolvangar Lights FIFTEEN The Dæmon Cages   Interested in making a difference in children affected by tra.fficking?    Many immigrants are not informed of their legal and civil rights as they pursue asylum or face deportation. Several nonprofits are providing free legal representation and other services for immigrants and the families of those detained. United We Dream, the American Civil Liberties Union, Mijente, Immigrant Families Together, Save the Children and the Immigrant Justice Corps are coordinating advocacy and services at a national level. Local organizations providing legal aid include the New Sanctuary Coalition in New York, Las Americas in El Paso and Raices in Texas, Americans for Immigrant Justice in Florida and the Denver Immigrant Legal Services Fund in Colorado. Most charities say the best way to help is through financial donations, not product donations. Well-vetted groups that provide humanitarian aid to migrants include Pueblo Sin Fronteras, an organization with two shelters along the border of the Sonoran Desert, and Border Angels, a volunteer coalition that provides water, free legal help, and emergency services. You can also donate to Immigrant Families Together, a group started by women in New York, working to raise bond money for parents who were separated from their children at the border. They also work to arrange long-term housing and pro bono attorneys for immigrants while they await trial. (In one instance, Kristen Bell helped the organization reach the $30,000 bond goal for a mother named Delmi.) Organizations United We Dream, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Mijente are also helping coordinate advocacy and services for families.   Eliana's twitter: https://twitter.com/arhythmetric Eliana's reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/glass_table_girl Eliana's blog: https://themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/ Chloe's twitter: https://twitter.com/liesandarbor Chloe's blog: www.liesandarborgold.com

One summer day in 2018, Julie Schwietert Collazo listened to an interview on the radio that changed her life: She learned of a Guatemalan refugee who had been separated from her children at the US border. Without hesitation, she sprung into action and helped this mother reunite with her children in New York—an incredible act of kindness that would end up inspiring thousands of people to join her fight for justice. Since that day, Julie has helped dozens of immigrant families find safety, happiness, and hope. 

The debate continues on illegal undocumented immigration in the US.

Julie Schwietert Collazo is the co-founder and director of Immigrant Families Together (IFT), an organization founded in response to the zero tolerance immigration policy initiated in 2018 that has resulted in the separation of thousands of immigrant parents and their children at the U.S./Mexico border. She brings her background as a bilingual journalist and former social worker to bear on her work with IFT, which raised more than a million dollars in just over six months, posting bond for more than 73 detained parents, grandparents, and older siblings who were separated from children. The ongoing work of IFT involves providing support to these families— housing, legal counsel, medical/dental/mental health care, and other necessities— as they proceed with their immigration cases. She is currently writing a book with one of the mothers affected by the zero tolerance policy. The book will be published in English and Spanish editions by HarperOne.

One day Julie Schwietert Collazo heard a report on WNYC about a mother who needed money to post bond and be reunited with her family. That was her aha moment, and the rest is history. Today, Julie and her husband, whom together co-founded Immigrant Families Together, have helped post bond for over 75 people and have raised over $1 million dollars to help asylum seekers. The organization has been overflowing with support across the 50 states; donations can range from the hundreds of thousands of dollars, to children and seniors donating $3 -$5. In this interview Diana and Julie discuss the heartbreaking hurdles and  hardships that asylum seeking parents face when they arrive. Posting bond is just step one out of detention, they are then alone in a world where they literally have nothing, and no support system. That's where Immigrant Families Together has stepped in, to offer not only bond and reunification but also to support them at a time when they are expected to not be a burden on society, but yet are not allowed to work.

It's a five-way! Round-table discussion that is, of what it means to lose your virginity. We invited a new friend, Zoe, and a current friend, Jerry, to talk about our unique definitions of what constitutes sex and the 'loss of virginity' or if that's even useful as an idea. Join us as we explore the dimensions of what we think sex is, share our stories, and examine what we think society wants to say for us.     Zoe's Charity, Immigrant Families Together: https://immigrantfamiliestogether.com/ https://twitter.com/ImmFamTogether https://www.instagram.com/immfamtogether/ https://www.facebook.com/ImmigrantFamiliesTogether Follow Us on Social Media: https://twitter.com/@RemedialSexEd https://www.instagram.com/remedialsexed/ https://www.facebook.com/RemedialSexPodcast/

Sometimes to talk about good things we need to talk about bad things. We have to go into the darkness of the cave, but make sure we’re lighting lanterns along the way. Laura Grantham Broussard sat down with me for a visit on Find the Good News, and our conversation was a bit like that. Laura caught my eye online because she was one of the few voices ringing out in our area taking an active position of compassion and mercy for immigrants and asylum seekers. She’s one of the one’s lighting those lanterns on the way into the cave. If I’m being honest, I typically feel a good bit of fear when the subject of migrants, foreigners, asylum seekers, or border walls come up. These are volatile times, and as a past guest of the show once said, “You can’t change anyone’s mind anymore.” Still, that’s one of the unwritten missions of this little show, isn’t it? Shouldn’t we all make an effort to have honest and elevated conversations—even uncomfortable conversations—that might cause a shift in thinking or a change of heart? I’d say that’s the kind of conversation I have with Laura in this episode. She speaks frankly about the immediate needs of the families that she serves through the Immigrant Families Together network and reveals many of the catalysts for their migration to safer lands. What I really love about Laura Broussard is that she’s actually doing something. She’s not sitting on the sidelines. She’s using her voice on new media networks to help bend the bow toward social justice, but she’s also putting actual energy into serving our brothers and sisters, these children of creation—and that’s what they are—manifesting resources for families that are totally at the mercy of a stranger’s kindness. That hope for kindness is not what they always receive. Laura has that unique knack for looking at history to help generate her compassion. Because she can see where she’s come from, she can see others as herself, and in turn, treat them as she would want to be treated. She sees the common ground that we all share, the things that bind us, and that many of the comforts and securities we enjoy simply come from being born in the right place and the right time—good old fashioned luck. It’s easy to find voices stirring the pot with the long end of the stick, voices that use degrading rhetoric that dehumanizes immigrants, making their troubles easier to disregard. Laura understands that they are people—just like you and I—and they are the ones getting the short end of the stick in this pot we stir with our words. Laura Grantham Broussard, all of the locals that support her efforts, and the Immigrant Families Together network are using their words and works to help these people in desperate situations. Maybe there are lanterns hanging along the walls of the deep, dark cave. Maybe there’s a light on outside as well. Maybe people like Laura are helping to transform these dark spaces into comfortable and safe homes filled with love, friends, and resources. For mothers and fathers wandering far from their homes and wondering what’s next, I believe it’s the good news they’ve been praying and hoping for. ========== THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY PARKER BRAND CREATIVE SERVICES >> www.ParkerBrandUp.com FOR MORE INFO ABOUT LAURA GRANTHAM BROUSSARD & THE IMMIGRANT FAMILIES TOGETHER NETWORK >> www.facebook.com/lg.broussard and https://immigrantfamiliestogether.com/donate-to-a-mom 

When Julie Schwietert Collazo heard that migrant families were being separated at the U.S.-Mexico, she wanted to do something to help.
