JUSTICE FOR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES Torn away at the border. Criminalized for being the “other.” Underpaid for labor. In the U.S., immigrants—particularly immigrants from Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa, and immigrants who practice Islam—are too often seen as less than human. Immigrants have been falsely accused of crimes, causing job losses, and terrorism. Since 2017, over 5,400 children have been separated at the border, while many families are held in detention centers across multiple states.15 To pursue a Regenerative Economy requires that we uphold the rights of refugees and immigrants as equals in our society. 15 22
