Miles Tokunow talks about Contigo Immigrant Justice and current immigration challenges

Contigo Immigrant Justice, formerly known as the Santa Fe Dreamers Project, is an organization that has long served the community of Santa Fe and New Mexico by providing immigration advocacy and services for undocumented people.   Over the last year, the nonprofit has celebrated numerous milestones from its 10-year anniversary in 2024 to selecting a new executive director. Another huge milestone is a new name with a special meaning behind it — Contigo Immigrant Justice — where “Contigo,” a Spanish word that means together, is meant to reflect a sense of community in the fight for immigrant rights.    Miles Tokunow, executive director, joins the latest episode of “Conversations Different” to discuss the rebrand, his assessment of current immigration challenges facing his organization and the rest of the country, and why getting involved in any capacity is important.   Contigo Immigrant Justice’s work comes during strong political polarization over how to best address fair immigration processes, border security and the future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.   If you want to learn more or support its efforts, visit contigojustice.org where you can also find information about the upcoming Fight for Immigrant Justice Gala on Nov.13 in Santa Fe.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
