ASAP Staff Retreat in Alabama

September 24, 2019

ESPAÑOL ABAJO. Last week the ASAP team traveled to Alabama for a wonderful staff retreat. During the retreat, we spent quality time visiting cultural sites in Montgomery and Selma, doing team-building activities, cooking together, and learning more about each other’s work at the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP). We also welcomed two new additions to our team, Zachary Manfredi and Dennise Moreno, making our retreat the largest gathering of ASAP’s staff to-date!

We spent our first day in Montgomery at the Equal Justice Initiative’s Legacy Museum and National Memorial for Peace and Justice. The Legacy Museum immersed us in audio and visual installations that highlighted histories of racial slavery and mass incarceration. At the National Memorial, these histories manifested as visceral feelings. As the nation’s first memorial dedicated to victims of lynching, the site pushed us to think about the role of mourning in a true and honest account of racial injustice in America.

The next day, we headed to Selma to visit the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute. Created by community organizers, the museum documented the famous marches from Selma to Montgomery and passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The museum focused on profiles and direct accounts of civil rights activists and local residents, including many who contributed outside the media’s eye. We then visited the iconic Edmund Pettus Bridge, where the marches began.

These experiences enabled our staff to make powerful connections between civil rights activism and our own work as immigrants’ rights advocates. After the retreat, Staff Attorney Zachary Manfredi reflected: “The retreat was an excellent way to start working at ASAP.  Not only did I get to spend time face-to-face with our incredible remote team, but visiting the EJI museum and other historic sites of the civil rights struggle motivated me to dive into our work!  It was an inspiration to see how past activists fought against insurmountable odds, and it was also a great opportunity to think about how our own work connects to longer legacies of advocacy for justice.”

Litigation Paralegal Marilyn Alvarado also shared: “Spending a few days with folks in Selma and Montgomery at both the EJI Museum and the Voting Rights Museum was an intense and at times challenging experience, but it was incredible to witness how much of our work intersects with the civil rights movement and its history. I felt inspired learning about the struggles and triumphs of the activists before me and freshly motivated knowing that our team will continue to center the resilience of asylum seekers in the face of adversity.”

RETIRO DE PERSONAL ASAP EN ALABAMA

24 de septiembre de 2019

La semana pasada, el equipo de ASAP viajó a Alabama para un maravilloso retiro de personal. Durante el retiro, pasamos tiempo de calidad visitando sitios culturales en Montgomery y Selma, realizando actividades de trabajo en equipo, cocinando juntos y aprendiendo más sobre el trabajo del otro en El Proyecto de Apoyo para Solicitantes de Asilo (o ASAP por sus siglas en inglés). ¡También dimos la bienvenida a dos nuevas incorporaciones a nuestro equipo, Zachary Manfredi y Dennise Moreno, haciendo de nuestro retiro la reunión más grande del personal de ASAP hasta la fecha!

Pasamos nuestro primer día en Montgomery en la Iniciativa de Igualdad de Justicia Museo de Legado y el Monumento Nacional por la Paz y la Justicia. El Museo de Legado nos sumergió en instalaciones audiovisuales que resaltaron historias de esclavitud racial y encarcelamiento masivo. En el Memorial Nacional, estas historias se manifestaron como sentimientos viscerales. Como el primer monumento conmemorativo de la nación dedicado a las víctimas de linchamiento, el sitio nos empujó a pensar sobre el papel del duelo en una descripción verdadera y honesta de la injusticia racial en Estados Unidos.

Al día siguiente, nos dirigimos a Selma para visitar el Museo e Instituto Nacional de Derechos Electorales. Creado por organizadores comunitarios, el museo documentó las famosas marchas de Selma a Montgomery y la aprobación de la Ley de Derechos de Voto de 1965. El museo se centró en perfiles y relatos directos de activistas de derechos civiles y residentes locales, incluidos muchos que contribuyeron fuera del ojo de los medios. Luego visitamos el icónico puente Edmund Pettus, donde las marchas comenzaron.

Estas experiencias permitieron a nuestro personal establecer conexiones poderosas entre el activismo por los derechos civiles y nuestro propio trabajo como defensores de los derechos de los inmigrantes. Después del retiro, el abogado del personal Zachary Manfredi reflexionó: “El retiro fue una excelente manera de comenzar a trabajar en ASAP. ¡No solo pude pasar tiempo cara a cara con nuestro increíble equipo remoto, sino que visitar el museo IIJ y otros sitios históricos de la lucha por los derechos civiles me motivaron a sumergirme en nuestro trabajo! Fue una inspiración ver cómo los activistas del pasado lucharon contra obstáculos insuperables, y también fue una gran oportunidad para pensar en cómo nuestro propio trabajo se conecta con legados más largos de defensa de la justicia ”.

Paralegal de litigios, Marilyn Alvarado también compartió: “Pasar unos días con personas en Selma y Montgomery tanto en el Museo IIJ como en el Museo de los Derechos de Votación fue una experiencia intensa y, a veces, desafiante, pero fue increíble presenciar cuánto se entrecruzan nuestro trabajo con El movimiento de derechos civiles y su historia. Me sentí inspirada al aprender sobre las luchas y los triunfos de los activistas antes que yo y recién motivado sabiendo que nuestro equipo continuará centrando la resiliencia de los solicitantes de asilo frente a la adversidad ”.
