In this blogcast, Burnes Center for Social Change Senior Fellow Seth Harris is joined by Patricia Campos-Medina to explore migration, belonging, worker power, and the everyday people shaping the future of immigrant worker justice.

In this special episode, Seth talks with Patricia about a project of the Worker Institute at Cornell University called Stories of Belonging: TPS Workers. The project collected interviews with Temporary Protected Status holders living and working in the United States. Seth and Patricia examine how race, immigration status, and workers’ rights intersect and how collective action transforms precarity into power.
