Francisco Ramos, Director of Community Organizing at NewVue Communities, speaks at the ALANA panel.
On Monday, November 9, The ALANA Club of MWCC hosted a panel discussion called “They Take Our Jobs and Other Myths About Immigration.” Facilitated by club president and MWCC student Ixtel Thibault-Muñoz with a guest Zoom appearance by famed author, historian and Dr. Aviva Chomsky, the event featured a diverse group of speakers answering questions about their immigration experience. The club organized the panel in direct response to the increase in incendiary rhetoric on the topic of immigration and aimed to host a more humane, informational and enlightening conversation around panelists sharing stories and thoughts on their personal experience.
