Hey John, 

The struggle to protect and empower immigrants is such an important one. From the borders to communities across the nation, it is an ongoing fight to protect human rights and to ensure everyone pursuing refuge and opportunity in the U.S. can do so in dignity and safety.

Young people—immigrants and their allies—are spearheading this fight in so many important ways. Generation Progress’ Immigration Activist Profile Series, shares the experiences and voices of young leaders fighting for immigrants’ rights and empowerment. These stories show the strength of the immigrants’ rights movement.

Check out these three entries in the series, highlighting the work of some amazing women fighting to protect immigrants and support them in important ways.

We’re honored to work with and highlight these phenomenal activists and community leaders. Through their experiences, thoughts, and advice, readers will gain insight to the work happening to support migrants and immigrant communities and learn new ways to get involved.
