Stop the Deportations

Central American child

An op-ed I wrote about the deportation of Central American women and children fleeing violence was just published in the Contra Costa Times.

I’m so happy this was picked up.

The New York Times editorial last week was even more pointed on this subject: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/08/opinion/a-shameful-round-up-of-refugees.html

I am thankful to the Op-Ed Project for tips on writing and placing op-eds.

And to the groups that supported my 2015 volunteer work with refugees and migrants in San Antonio, TX: RAICES, the Interfaith Coordinating Committee, and the Unitarian Universalist College of Social Justice.
