In this episode of Juneteenth Conversations, host Michael Cartwright, the Vice President of University Mission at the University of Indianapolis, is joined by the co-founders of Mariposa Legal, a non-profit venture located here on the southside of Indianapolis. The directors of Mariposa’s projects are Hannah Cartwright, an attorney who is also trained in social work, and Romelia Solano, a doctoral candidate in political science at the University of Notre Dame. They combine representation for detained and undocumented immigrants, especially those seeking relief, protection and/or asylum.
This in-depth episode explores their work with those who find themselves caught in the net of conflicting jurisdictions and legal remedies associated with citizenship deportation, etc. Mariposa Legal is a program of the COMMON Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
