The publication details the policies that should be the priority of federal lawmakers across civil rights, criminal justice, economic security, education, health and well-being, and immigration issues.
The Latino community has made notable gains across key indicators including health, education, and the economy. Yet harmful policies and regulations issued under the Trump administration threaten to reverse this progress and widen inequities. UnidosUS’s policy agenda urges the 116th Congress to prioritize American workers and families—including Latinos—by protecting and advancing the gains they have made over the past decade.
FPA vision: All students at Freedom Prep will have the same competitive advantage as the most privileged children in America. This ppt provides the information so you can sign up to Duke TIP!

Today is our second annual public meeting between MICAH and community
representatives and will highlight the work of all three of our issue areas. Since
the meeting last October at Mason Temple, MICAH has spent hundreds of
hours meeting with elected officials, and other business and community
leaders, to develop strategies and partnerships to address some of the most
challenging issues facing our community. All of the community
representatives here today have been informed about our issue platforms, they
know ahead of time what questions will be asked of them, and many of them
have worked in direct partnership with us to arrive at today’s
accomplishments
MICAH (Memphis Interfaith Coalition for Action and Hope) is a coalition of community and faith-based organizations joining together to give a more powerful voice for issues of justice in our city. Our current platform concentrates on three pillar issues, economic equity, education equity, and immigration & intercultural equity. We organize and speak to our community and its leaders, always seeking to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God." The purpose of MICAH is not to replace each congregation or community organization's efforts, but instead to amplify the voice and the impact by working together interdependently.
MICAH is a power organization that addresses social justice issues in Memphis. MICAH is interfaith and multi-racial and engages stakeholders in the political and economic decisions affecting their lives. MICAH acts as a unified voice for the faith and justice community to act on its values in the public arena. MICAH is a coalition of congregations and community organizations whose interest is justice for all people.
The Texas Legislature recently gave serious consideration to legislation that would have allowed the granting of childcare licenses to immigration detention centers that hold asylum-seeking mothers and children. The licensing bill was proposed at the request of the private for-profit prison company — the GEO Group — that runs one of these family detention facilities. According to a state legislator, “the legislation came from” a GEO lobbyist (Hoffman 2017a). Indeed, the GEO Group admitted that it sought state licensing because it believed that the “licensing process [would] allow longer lengths of stay” for families in immigration detention, and thereby protect and possibly increase its profits (GEO Group 2016, 32). The GEO Group pushed the legislation in the wake of court rulings that limited the detention of children accompanied by their parents in unlicensed detention centers, putting lucrative contracts for family detention held by the GEO Group and other private companies at some risk.
The state of Tennessee, along with the nation, has undergone a “demographic evolution” spurred by increases in minority populations. These demographic booms are evident all over the
country, primarly in states like California and Texas, and major metropolitan cities like Los Angeles, Houston, and New York.
However, these changes are evident in all corners of Tennesse, including the city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County. Hamilton County Schools have seen a significant growth in Hispanic and English Learner populations, directly mirroring the growth across
the state. As these groups and other under-served groups grow, it is imperative to have community stakeholders advocating on their behalf to ensure that they receive the appropriate support and resources to perform on par with their peers.
Chattanooga State Community College has proposed to create an innovative hybrid program for English Language Learners to have increased access to Early post-Secondary Opportunities. As the Bridges to Success 2.0 program evolves, it is necessary to
recognize the demographic trends of the country, the city, and the
state and what the state of educational attainment is for English
learners in Hamilton County to ensure BTS 2.0 provides the most
appropriate support.
Teachers of color are positive role models for all students in breaking down negative stereotypes and preparing students to live and work in a multiracial society. A more diverse teacher workforce can also supplement training in the culturally sensitive
teaching practices most effective with today’s student populations.
In addition to providing social advantages for all students, the racial diversity of the teaching workforce can help to close the
achievement gap, emerging research suggests. Both quantitative and qualitative studies find that teachers of color can improve the school experiences of all students; further, teachers of color contribute to improved academic outcomes while serving as strong role models for students.
One report suggests that, compared with their peers, teachers of color are more likely to (1) have higher expectations of
students of color (as measured by higher numbers of referrals to gifted programs); (2) confront issues of racism; (3) serve as
advocates and cultural brokers; and (4) develop more trusting relationships with students, particularly those with whom they
share a cultural background.
A recent report shows that, despite the critical role that teachers of color can play in helping students of color succeed, every
state has a higher percentage of students of color than teachers of color and the workforce is still overwhelmingly homogenous.
While the focus of this report is on racial diversity, the Department acknowledges that other forms of diversity such as socioeconomic background, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, religion, and multilingualism are also important and should be examined. For example, when considering gender in addition to race, we know that black males make up only 2 percent of the teaching workforce nationwide.
Unlocking Human Dignity: A Plan to Transform the US Immigrant Detention System addresses one of the most troubled features of the US immigration system and highlights the need for fundamental changes to it. The report comes six years since the inception of the Obama administration’s detention reform initiative. In the interim, the number of immigrant detainees per year has risen to more than 400,000, the administration has opened immense new family detention centers, and the overwhelming majority of persons in the custody of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have remained in prisons, jails and other secure facilities where they are subject to standards designed for criminal defendants and, in many ways, treated more harshly than criminals.
The report’s overarching recommendation is that the US immigrant detention system be dismantled and replaced with a network of supervised release, case management, and community support programs, designed to ensure court appearances. It recognizes that detention may be necessary for short periods and in certain cases, but it rejects detention as a central immigrant “management” tool, and argues that detention should only be used as a last resort if less harmful strategies and programs—viewed on a continuum beginning with the least restrictive and moving to release programs with different levels of supervision, monitoring, and support—cannot reasonably ensure court appearances or (in rare cases) protect the public. It opposes the detention of pregnant and nursing women, bona fide asylum seekers, the very ill, the disabled, the elderly, and other vulnerable persons. It calls for the substantial contraction of detention facilities and “bed space.”

This is the first presentation fo CEFIMEX in Tennessee conducted by Marcos Villa.
Presentation I prepared for DiversifiED, the inaugural educators of color leadership conference, co-hosted by the Tennessee Educators of Color Alliance and Tennessee State University.
DiversifiED was open to all public school educators, pre-service educators, teacher educators and education advocates with an interest in celebrating the importance of a diverse teacher workforce.
On August 19th at 5 PM, join immigrant youth to rally in support of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and the Dream Act of 2017. DACA is a form of administrative relief from deportation. The purpose of DACA is to protect eligible immigrant youth, who came to the United States when they were children, from deportation. DACA gives young undocumented immigrants: 1) protection from deportation, and 2) a 2-year renewable work permit. Without DACA and the opportunities it provides, more than 800,000 young adults across the country would be unable to fully participate in their communities and positively contribute to the economy. Tennessee’s Herbert Slatery, along with ten other extremist attorneys general, are threatening President Trump into ending DACA which would put 8,300+ undocumented youth in Tennessee at risk of deportation. To offer permanent protections to DACA recipients, a bipartisan group of Senators proposed the Dream Act of 2017. We will march against the removal of DACA and the implementation of the Dream Act of 2017.
