About this episode

This episode discusses the work of CHIRLA in advocating for immigrant rights and community empowerment.

CHIRLA — the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights — is an organization that has been at the forefront of immigrant justice, advocacy, and community empowerment for decades. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about people. About families, futures, and the fundamental right to belong. We talk about organizing, resilience, and what it means to fight for dignity in a system that too often denies it. This episode is a reminder that behind every headline is a human story, and that real change happens when communities come together to demand something better.
