Time capsules are important, I’ve been revisiting a lot of older work recently (because the conditions that called for them are very much still prevalent).
During the ongoing COVID 19 Pandemic we launched CT UndocuFund as a mutual aid initiative to support our undocumented populations. A population that is immensely pivotal to our national economy, but ineligible from most forms of national relief. We were able to raise $200+ thousand, providing short term relief for over 100 undocumented families.
What I’m more proud of is our work to shifting deeply problematic narratives on immigration, shedding a realistic light on our shared experiences.
“Breaking Bread and Borders” is a series of conversations centerning Black women with immigration stories. This episode was originally released on Facebook Live in June, 2020. It features Shakira Perez, Guetty Antiste and Shanique Reid, it is hosted by Claudine Constant.
“Breaking Bread and Borders” was produced by Constanza Segovia, Varun Sharma and Patrick “Rico” Williams.
