About this listen
This week on Just Politics, Giovana Oaxaca, the senior government relations advocate for immigration with NETWORK, joins hosts Colin and Eilis to discuss the escalating immigration crisis facing communities nationwide.
This episode was recorded in the immediate aftermath of the budget reconciliation bill's passage, which Oaxaca calls a "deportation bill," one that will also decimate the social safety net programs many people rely on.
The conversation tackles harsh realities, from detention camps in the Florida Everglades to terrorizing enforcement raids in Los Angeles. But Oaxaca also highlights stories of hope: organizers building solidarity in unlikely places, pastors providing sanctuary, and transformative conversations across political divides.
Inspired by Pope Leo XIV's call to be "leaven of unity in a fractured world," Oaxaca challenges us to move beyond fear toward authentic engagement, emphasizing finding common ground through shared values of human dignity.
