John,
I’m excited to announce our three Keepers of the American Dream honorees:
Linda Y. Rivas is the executive
director of Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center, a 34-year-old organization serving El Paso, Texas and Ciudad Juarez. Dedicated to the legal needs of immigrants, refugees, and those in need of family reunification, Las Americas also advocates for the dignity and rights of all migrants. During the Trump administration, Rivas represented and led efforts to reunite families who were separated as a result of the "Zero-Tolerance" immigration policy and the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Recently, Rivas has advocated to DHS Secretary Mayorkas and Vice President Harris, calling on them to end Title 42 expulsions at the border.
Kit Danley is the Founder and President of Phoenix, AZ-based Neighborhood Ministries, Inc. – a comprehensive, holistic outreach program that combines social justice work with many forms of Christian Community Development. This 39-year-old outreach program has been featured in magazines like "World", "Christian Century", and
"Christianity Today". Their mission focuses on the hardest problems in Arizona and Phoenix -- including the massive efforts of almost 20 years on the front lines of immigration reform and immigrant justice.
Driscoll’s is a California-based producer and seller of fresh berries. Driscoll’s cares deeply for everyone involved in their enterprise, including farmworkers, their family of independent growers, transportation providers, and grocers. As a member of the Forum’s Corporate Roundtable for the New American Workforce, Driscoll’s is committed to advocate on behalf of immigrant farmworkers and making positive policy change.
We are so grateful for the contributions of each of these awardees. Please join me in congratulating them!
Best,
Beth Sears
