Kai Kai Mascareñas and Claudia Rojas will be co-facilitating this months community dialogue. Beautiful souls engaging in conversation on abundance and what it means for us as immigrants to (re)member, connect, & build.

So happy for the students and advocates who pushed this further. Honored to have worked with students during my time at UMD.

ATTENTION: As of March 2021, the ICE contract at UMD will NOT be renewed. This is a huge victory for immigrant students, student advocates that pushed to end the contract, and the general inclusive environment that UMD needs to have moving forward!

NASPA is another moment in my life that brings in aspects of my healing & unlearning journey & I will write about this too. Today I want to say TY Susana for inviting me to this conversation. If you're working with/alongside undocumented students and colleagues this is for you.

✨Yesterday, I was visited by a colibri and I felt such joy and peace.I know beautiful creative things are coming beyond and regardless of the elections.✊🏽

[Laura @laurambgt]

Best moments this week were hearing students share that the spaces we were creating virtually during our team gatherings were helping their healing journey. They called it revolutionary and not a space they had experienced in higher ed.

This makes the process even more inaccessible to folks looking to adjust their status. This is ridiculous.

[MigrationPolicy Inst @MigrationPolicy]

.@USCIS has proposed fee increases, including an 83% hike to apply to become a US citizen.
And for the first time ever, the US would impose an asylum application fee, something only 3 other countries – Iran, Fiji & Australia – do
