What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :
On January 26th, my group presented about our social justice project to the class. We had spent the prior week working on these presentations. I was excited because it was the first time sharing our inital research with our classmates. While researching, I was startled at how latin american immigrants get treated much worse than other immigrants. I feel like due to Donald Trump centralizing immigration on how he thinks Mexicans are bad for the US, that led to latin immigrants, and latin people being treated worse in our society. In summary, when Central American immigrants are trying to escape violence in their own countries, in the US they are met with inequity.
