Take Action

Featured Organization:
Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots

Support the work of Oaxaca Streetchildren Grassroots -- an organization that provides an education for 600 of the poorest children in Oaxaca City and the surrounding areas. More than 60 of the children they've supported are now young adults enrolled in technical schools and universities. These students started with us as young children and now are the future leaders of the State of Oaxaca. Check out their website: https://sites.google.com/a/oaxacastreetchildrengrassroots.org/en/

Featured Organization:
Bilingual Education for Central America

This organization promotes affordable bilingual (English-Spanish) education to children in impoverished areas of Honduras. Their volunteer driven bilingual school model creates an environment in which Central American students learn from dedicated volunteer teachers, and those volunteers learn from the community in which they are immersed. Check out their website, and check out a short report I did on this organization while reporting on emigration from Honduras.
Educate

We will only get past all of the rhetoric and conflict around immigration issues if people understand the complexities of this issue. Here are some resources we recommend for educating your students, employees, members, and parishioners:

  • Organize a public screening of The Other Side of Immigration. Contact us to learn more. 
  • Check out the "More Films" link above to watch other films by Roy Germano on deportation, immigration enforcement, racial profiling, and child migration. Feel free to show them in class!
  • Roy Germano has written an essay [download PDF] recommending a number of films and videos about immigration. The essay is organized by theme and discusses why you might want to show certain films to particular audiences.
