Ep. 0920--So Much We Learn from Outsiders: Immigrant Advocacy

Thousands of people and organizations advocate for immigrants. Even so, the best advocates are the immigrants themselves. Immigrants are archetypally the strangers in a strange land. Enormous creativity is being generated by these strangers—today and throughout human history.  It is the strangers in a strange land, far more than the privileged in the land, who envision the world that makes space for all of us; the only world that can save life on our planet today. Immigrant advocates change systems from the bottom up. From the margins outside of borders. They force rethinking of what "border" means and how it gets used politically, racially, and religiously.
