Listen to episode 14 where I talk with Sarah Jackson, the founder of the Denver/Aurora based organization Casa de Paz. Several years ago, Sarah’s eyes were opened to the realities of immigration to the United States. We discuss her experiences and how she decided she could be a welcoming force in the Denver area. Casa de Paz works directly to support individuals released from the Aurora ICE Detention Center as well as families who come to visit their loved ones. Casa de Paz is run entirely on volunteer energy and the desire to make the US a welcoming place for all. The work Casa does helps to rehumanize immigrants and support people in getting to their final destination. We also discuss Sarah's new book, The House that Love Built, as well as the documentary made about Casa de Paz, Welcome Strangers.

For even more context or if you would like to learn more about the asylum seeking process, I would suggest listening to Episode 9 of this podcast (if you haven’t already) where I speak to 2 individuals who assisted asylum seekers in preparing for their credible fear interviews at the Texas/Mexico border.
