Transnational Solidarity: Opportunities to Support Asylum Seekers

Wednesday, August 24, 2022

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Healthcare providers continue to see asylum-seeking children and families in various healthcare settings with more on the way. Through these encounters, as well as the media and tireless work of community advocates, we learn how migrants along the US-Mexico border have been and continue to be subjected to violence created by international policy and border operations. Many times we ask ourselves, “What else can I do?” Join us as we explore options to engage in solidarity with these communities along the border. Dr. Jyothi Marbin will be talking about the Sidewalk Clinic, a virtual clinic serving families in Reynosa, Mexico. Dr. Kay Daniels will be discussing Families at the Border, a Stanford initiative supporting families in Tijuana, Mexico.
