Nov. 3 Gathering in Kingston: Immigration Justice and Asylum for Marco Saavedra!

JavaScript isn't enabled in your browser, so this file can't be opened. Enable and reload.

As the worker-owners of the NYC restaurant La Morada, Marco, his parents, and his sisters keep their indigenous Oaxacan culinary traditions alive by sharing nourishing food with their community. They've also led a public campaign for their rights and the rights of other humans as undocumented immigrants in the U.S. See their Facebook page --https://bit.ly/2mtskQp -- and the recent article, "A Haven in Mott Haven: As an immigration activist prepares for his asylum case, his family’s restaurant hangs in the balance" -- http://www.grubstreet.com/2019/10/la-morada-in-the-bronx-has-become-a-canteen-for-organizers.html.

Marco is facing his final asylum hearing next week.
