Description
AirGo is partnering with UIC's Social Justice Initiative to present The Sawyer Seminar, a series of conversations hosted by UIC scholars entitled Radical Care, Real Alternatives. On this episode, we dig deep into the contemporary undocumented rights movement with UIC Professor Amalia Pallares and Mijente Political Director Tania Unzueta. The former mentor-mentee duo go through the timeline of Tania's involvement in the struggle, from her canceled appearance in front of Congress on September 11th, to the fight for DACA to be passed in the early 2010s, to her step into electoral politics over the last few years. Throughout the story, the love and appreciation between the old friends shines through, and the stories Tania shares illustrate what the future of this fight can look like.
