  • 🌾 A Time for Reflection and Gratitude 🌾 Today, we take a moment to acknowledge the holiday’s complex and painful history rooted in colonialism and its lasting impact on Indigenous communities. While many see this as a time to gather and express gratitude, we believe it’s equally important to reflect on the origins of this day and honor the resilience and contributions of Indigenous peoples. We invite you to join us in: 🌻 Learning more about Indigenous history 🌻 Celebrating Indigenous cultures 🌻 Supporting our efforts and work. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/dHtCZjt8 Together, let’s work toward a future that uplifts and respects all communities. 💛 #DayOfReflection #GratitudeAndJustice #TruthAndReconciliation #IndigenousResilience

    Associate Professor- Population Health, NYU School of Medicine / Community engaged mixed methods research / Latine mental health & well-being

    With funding from the Foundation for Child Development, I was able to study the impact of the Trump administration's restrictive immigration policy changes on school communities in 2018. Educators working in low-income immigrant communities noted increases in food insecurity and anxiety among students. In a mixed methods paper published in 2022, we present data from that study and explore how anti-immigrant sociopolitical climate impacts educators' own well-being. Educators found the following to be supportive: (1) communal coping - having time and space to talk to other educators about how to support students from impacted communities; (2) leadership that acknowledged stress due to anti-immigrant sociopolitical climate; (3) informational support regarding legal rights of impacted community. Absent structural supports, educators working in immigrant communities can be adversely impacted by a charged immigration climate due to increases in work complexity, their own immigration-related worry, and experiences of vicarious racism. You can access paper here or msg me for copy https://lnkd.in/d7E6v3RX “You’re Part of Some Hope and Then You Fall into Despair”: Exploring the Impact of a Restrictive Immigration Climate on Educators in Latinx Immigrant Communities. Journal of Latinos and Education, 23(2), 492–513. #edequity #mentalhealth #earlyeducation #socialjustice #equity

  • 🕯️ Honoring Those We Lost: Naming the Lost Memorials 🕯️ Last week, we joined Naming the Lost Memorials, a powerful annual event to remember those who passed away from COVID-19. Our piece, "Seguimos en la Lucha" (We Continue in the Struggle), pays tribute to the lives lost and acknowledges the enduring impact of this pandemic on our Latinx and Indigenous communities. COVID-19 hit our marginalized communities disproportionately hard, revealing deep-seated inequities in healthcare, financial security, and access to resources. Today, many are still facing secondary effects—from financial struggles to ongoing health complications. These challenges remind us that the path to recovery is far from over. Let us continue honoring the memories of those we lost by advocating for the resources and support our communities need to heal and rebuild. Together, we remain committed to the struggle for equity, resilience, and justice. 💪🏽✨ #NamingTheLost #SeguimosEnLaLucha #COVID19Remembrance #LatinxCommunity #IndigenousCommunity #CommunityHealing #NeverForget
