E4: Talking to Children about ICE and the Prison Industrial Complex

In this episode, SooJin and Hannah speak with Emilia Gonzalez Avalos, the Executive Director of Navigate MN/Unidos MN. Emilia shares her powerful and painful story of coming to the US from Mexico, what life is like for undocumented immigrants living in this country, and the threat she and her children and other Latinx families face everyday because of the targeted attack against them under the current administration. Given the upcoming election, this episode comes at a crucial time, as it provides a specific call to antiracist action in an effort to manifest an antiracist world where every human being is valued and respected. Thank you for listening and making a commitment to antiracist parenting. We hope you will answer the call by the time you finish listening to this heart-wrenching episode.Warning: This episode may be triggering for some people, as stories of trauma are shared throughout the episode. In addition, there is some profanity around the 1 hour, 2 minute mark.Note: SooJin and Hannah will be on hiatus for the month of October, as we work to help mobilize people to vote. Our next episode will be available on November 6, 2020.Navigate MN / Unidos MN website: https://www.navigatemn.org/
