Beyond the Wall: A Roundtable Discussion on Border and Migration

This month, WOLA premiered an animated video for our Beyond the Wall campaign and recorded a panel discussion. Our panelists discuss the challenges and solutions on a rights-respecting approach to migration. The panel is moderated by Mario Moreno, WOLA's Vice President for Communications, and includes Geoff Thale, the President of WOLA, Maureen Meyer, WOLA's Director for Mexico and Migrant Rights, Adam Isacson WOLA's Director for Defense Oversight, and Adriana Beltran, WOLA's Director for Citizen Security. Beyond the Wall is a bilingual segment of the Latin America Today podcast, and a part of the Washington Office on Latin America's Beyond the Wall advocacy campaign. In the series, we will follow the thread of migration in the Americas beyond traditional barriers like language and borders. We will explore root causes of migration, the state of migrant rights in multiple countries and multiple borders and what we can do to protect human rights in one of the most pressing crises in our hemisphere.
