On this first episode, we will feature Mayra Garibo’s story, a DACAmented immigrant from California who is helping us lead the National Campaign to Restore DACA’s Advance Parole after having to endure the pain of seeing her dad’s funeral over FaceTime because she was repeatedly denied an Advance Parole permit.

OUR SINCERE APPRECIATION TO OUR SPONSORS
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all sponsors and individual donors who have contributed to the National Campaign to Restore DACA’s Advance Parole since January 2019.

FEAR IN THE AGE OF STATE TERRORISM
The CMSC calls upon public policymakers at all levels of government, to respond to the State-terrorism targeted and inflicted by the Federal Government’s hateful policies and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
This trauma is affecting all segments of the immigrant population but in particular the youngest in our community.
Thus, we call upon school districts and academics to immediately address this crisis , and to develop plans and policies to respond through mental health interventions for immigrant students and parents.
