Immigrant fathers and sons communicate on the soccer field

communicate on the soccer field
“Traditional sports build cultural solidarity. In rural North Carolina, Tomás, a retired semi-professional soccer player from Mexico, co-founds an organized soccer league with family and fellow Central and Latin American undocumented immigrants. The common language of the sport forges bonds among the players and across generations, helping to foster more open communication between fathers and sons, and creates mentoring relationships with other adults. Moreover, the league's frequent games promote physical and psychological resilience in a community burdened by the risk of deportation.”

Supporting Students from Immigrant Families

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos told the House Committee on Education and the Workforce that it's a "school decision" whether educators report undocumented students to ICE. Not only does this suggestion conflict with settled law, but it also fundamentally undermines the promise of our schools as a place where all students can thrive. This edition of The Moment offers guidance on how to speak up for the children in your care.
