Cloee Cooper interviews Greisa Martínez Rosas, Executive Director of United We Dream, about her work in the immigrant justice space and our current political moment of rising authoritarianism and anti-immigrant policy and sentiment.
For nearly 40 years, there has been a coordinated, well-funded effort to limit both authorized and unauthorized immigration in the U.S. The movement leading this effort is largely comprised of groups with ties to racist eugenics and White nationalism and have been the ideological driver of policies intended to malign and criminalize immigrant communities. The contemporary anti-immigrant movement’s work and activity can be seen across the country and has become an integral part of the Right’s agenda. PRA provides information and analysis on these activities to immigrant communities and allies—informing their resistance to bigoted and repressive policies and to uphold our shared humanity.
