In this special we speak with Valencia Alvarez who was recently a Masters of Public Health student at Washington University in St. Louis and is a Community Organizer for migrant justice with Migrantes Unidos (https://www.migrantesunidos.com/). Alvarez is originally from Southern California and her family is from Mexico.
Alvarez is in legal limbo after being arrested at WashU during a Palestine Solidarity Encampment. She has also been told her degree will not be conferred to her until December.
