Migrants On Air Fuerte Network

Join co-hosts Karina Dominguez and Carlos Yañez for a special episode where they remember SB1070 as Florida passed SB1718. This horrible bill will further criminalize immigrant communities. They are joined by Nery, an immigrant rights advocate and coordinator with the FL student power network, a youth organization serving students across Florida to advocate for education, climate and migrant justice. Nery is a FIU alumni and is heavily involved in immigrant community work with youth. The Florida legislature has failed to protect immigrants and Florida immigrant youth will not stay silent. We hope our immigrant communities across the country see the realities and parallels that immigrants face daily.

Join co-hosts Karina Dominguez, Carlos Yañez, and Danny Orona as they sit with their guest of the month, Alejandra. They discuss undocu-joy, thriving and finding job opportunities without DACA, the need to push ourselves away from feelings of helplessness, and some controversial opinions.

Join Co-hosts Carlos and Karina as they have a chisme session, talking immigration law updates, DREAM ACT and new proposals for registry. Immigration changes fast, but we will catch you up faster!

Even though the dominant narrative of migration places childhood arrivals at the forefront, we know that people migrate at every stage of life. Join us as we talk with Brenda Heredia on her migration journey, and how migrating as a young adult shaped her life.
Brenda Heredia is a California based undocumented entrepreneur and business owner, specializing in handmade candles and other homegoods under her brand quherencia
As a young adult, Brenda migrated from Mexico City to California and was asked to navigate United States Systems without speaking English- her perseverance and her strong support system led her to graduate with a double bachelors and translation certificate from the University of California- Fullerton. Her experience as a non DACA-mented individual merges with her experiences navigating institutions, and stresses the need for inclusivity of Immigrants outside of the DACA program.

This is one of the most important election of our history, and one of the most important propositions is Prop 308.Today we have Gloria Martinez Granados to tell us her story and some details about her art currenly on display at the Phoenix Art Museum.
Gloria Martinez-Granados is a Phoenix, Arizona based artist. Born in Guanajuato, Mexico she migrated to the United States of America with her family at 8 years old. Gloria is a interdisciplinary artist creating with indigenous practices, adding a contemporary approach by including printmaking, assemblage, installation and performance to the more traditional arts of beadwork and weaving. Through this process, she develops themes around identity, dreams, place, home and land. This merges with her experience growing up undocumented in the United States and the legal limbo she lives day to day as a DACAmented person.
In 2019 she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking from Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. She has been invited as a teaching artist at The Phoenix Art Museum and CALA Alliance. In 2022, Gloria received the 40th Annual Environmental Excellence Award for her collaboration “Good Trouble Bucket” with environmental artist Joan Baron. This same year, Valle del Sol has awarded Martinez-Granados for the annual Profiles of Success event with the Espiritu y Cultura Award. Gloria will also be presenting work at the Phoenix Art Museum from September 2022 till May 2023 as a recipient of the inaugural Sally and Richard Lehmann Emerging Artists Awards.

Proposition 308 will be on the ballot in November, and while we know the effects that it can have on the future of education for our students, there's nothing like hearing it from them directly. For this episode we reached out to 5 students or former students from different generations to tell their stories of trying to go to school in Arizona and what Prop 308 could mean for their futures.
