In the sixth installment of Reflections: A Race Forward Podcast, recorded at the National Immigrant Integration Conference 2021, Jonathan Jayes-Green (they/them), Vice President of Programs at Marguerite Casey Foundation, tells Race Forward's Hendel Leiva,“I know that some folks might not be as happy with us, like the fact that we, as a movement over the years, with the language that we use, through the strategies that we pursued, through the narratives that we've told, have picked winners and losers — have picked the good and the bad immigrants. Have painted a story of undocumented young people as myself as more worthy of protection than my parents and other folks who might not be as young, who might not have the same clean and perfect narrative of who we are.” In this episode, Jonathan talks about their lived experience as an organizer at the intersections of immigration and racial justice, and the very real consequences that come from not centering the most marginalized communities in liberation work.  *Recorded after the National Immigrant Integration Conference About, Jonathan Jayes-Green: https://bit.ly/3IrLCu2 Executive Producers: Hendel Leiva & Cheryl Cato BlakemoreAssociate Producer: Kendy Solis Produced in collaboration with the National Partnership For New Americans

Cuando hablamos de racismo, frecuentemente lo hacemos a la distancia, sin entender que es un mal que ha infectado a nuestras comunidades y que se manifiesta en nuestro lenguaje, en nuestras costumbres y en nuestras actitudes. Hay que ser parte de la solución. Y para lograrlo, hay que empezar por escuchar las voces de la comunidad afrolatina y del activismo. Por eso hablamos con Jonathan Jayes-Green, un joven de 28 años en el estado de Washington. Esta es su historia.

Black African Immigrants are the fasting growing immigrant population in the United States.

They are a population that is often highly educated, family oriented and hardworking, all virtues that from the cornerstone of the American value system.
