Alongside community leaders and collaborators, and before the mainstream media attending the meeting (Univision, Estrella TV, Agencia EFE, Televisa, Hoy Newspaper, La Opinion, among others), Olga and Karla revealed during the press conference details of their new initiative designed to inform and provide resources to our immigrant community in times of the greatest need, like those we are facing today.

“IMMIGRATION NEXUS consists of a new online platform built expressly to group all existing pro-immigrant organizations in one place that are doing an arduous and excellent job in our community.” Claudia Pinto, Director of Los Angeles en Mexico said.

“With just a single click, immigrant families, activists and professionals from different fields will have access to all of the reliable resources providing effective and up-to-date information about services, solutions, and new immigration laws.” Olga added.

Karla Souza explains that IMMIGRATION NEXUS is a free service to immigrants, that “EXCLUSIVELY includes nonprofit organizations, programs and projects, as well as community efforts.”

“At LOS ÁNGELES IN MEXICO we firmly believe that information is one of the best tools we can give to our community,” Ana said, “and we believe that all of this information should be available to all immigrants. We want to empower not only families, but also those who advocate for them. As actors, we have the means and the power to help, and that is why we decided to create this new digital community that will benefit the immigrants directly.”

“Immigrant community members are vulnerable to exploitation because they often have few community contacts and limited knowledge about their rights,” said Mónica Ramírez, President of Justice for Migrant Women and Gender Justice Campaigns Director for National Domestic Workers Alliance. “The Immigration Nexus will make it easier for them to find critical information and support. We are grateful to be included and thankful to everyone involved with this project. It is more important than ever for advocates and community members to be connected.”

“At a time when our immigrant communities are under daily attack, we’re grateful to be a part of the important work that the Immigration Nexus is doing to empower our community with clarity and compassion,” said Sandra Cordero, Director of Families Belong Together. “By sharing this critical information in one easy to find, platform, the Nexus assures that folks are provided with facts needed for their safety and well being as they navigate the overwhelming process of arriving to a new country. This platform is a beautiful way to say immigrants are welcome here!”

At IMMIGRATION NEXUS, a variety of immigration advocates can share their projects and publish their events, reports, videos, photographs, comments, recommendations, profiles of their organizations, announcements, and basic information on how and where to find them. And, although it has just started, the newly-created project already has the participation of various nonprofit organizations, health clinics, pro-bono lawyers, churches, shelters, refugee camps, and other entities that provide support to the hundreds of thousands of families facing immigration issues. Among those who have already joined the platform are: Border Network for Human Rights, La Placita / Our Lady Queen of Angels Church, Centro de los Derechos del Migrante, Inc., California Immigrant Policy Center, Border Angels, Diocesan Migrant and Refugee Services, Inc., Families Belong Together, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Justice For Migrant Woman and Hermandad Mexicana Nacional. https://www.immigrationnexus.org

The artists and activists ended the presentation by sharing an entertaining cocktail at the legendary San Antonio Winery with members of the media, friends, colleagues, collaborators, and the volunteers who came to lend support to the new initiative. Among those present were Mrs. Gil Cedillo, City Councilman of Los Angeles, Mrs. Patricia Lopez, Vice Consul of Guatemala, and Felipe Carrera Aguayo, Consular Chief of the Office of Protection and Legal Aid of the Consulate of Mexico in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, CA.– Hoy LOS ÁNGELES EN MÉXICO, Olga Segura y Karla Souza presentaron su nueva iniciativa IMMIGRATION NEXUS ante un grupo de defensores de inmigración.

Acompañadas de líderes de la comunidad y colaboradores, y ante los principales medios de comunicación que acudieron a la cita (Univision, Estrella TV, Agencia EFE, Televisa, Hoy Newspaper, La Opinion, entre otros), Olga y Karla, revelaron durante la rueda de prensa los detalles de esta nueva iniciativa diseñada para informar y proveer de recursos a nuestra comunidad inmigrante en momentos de máxima necesidad como los que estamos viviendo.

“IMMIGRATION NEXUS consiste en una nueva plataforma online construida expresamente para agrupar en un solo lugar a todas las organizaciones proinmigrantes existentes, y que están haciendo un arduo y excelente trabajo en nuestra comunidad.” Dijo Claudia Pinto, directora de LOS ÁNGELES EN MÉXICO.

“Con un solo click, familias de inmigrantes, activistas y profesionales de diferentes campos tendrán acceso a todas las fuentes confiables que proporcionan información eficaz y actualizada sobre servicios, soluciones y nuevas leyes migratorias.” Añadió Olga.

Karla Souza explicó que IMMIGRATION NEXUS es un servicio gratuito para los emigrantes, que “EXCLUSIVAMENTE incluye organizaciones, programas y proyectos no lucrativos, así como esfuerzos comunitarios.”

“En LOS ÁNGELES EN MÉXICO creemos firmemente que la información es una de las mejores herramientas que podemos aportar a nuestra comunidad,” señaló Ana, “y creemos que toda esta información debería estar disponible para todo inmigrante. Queremos empoderar no solo a las familias, sino también a aquellos que abogan por ellas. Como actores, tenemos los medios y el poder de ayudar, y por eso decidimos crear esta nueva comunidad digital que podrá beneficiar directamente a los emigrantes.”

“Los miembros de la comunidad migrante están expuestos a ser explotados por carecer de contactos comunitarios que los puedan ayudar y por desconocer sus derechos,” dijo Mónica Ramírez, presidente de Justice for Migrant Women and Gender Justice Campaigns Director for National Domestic Workers Alliance. “IMMIGRATION NEXUS les facilitará encontrar información necesaria y apoyo a todo nivel. Agradecemos que nos hayan incluido y agradecemos la labor de todos los involucrados en este proyecto. Ahora, activistas y miembros de la comunidad tenemos que permanecer conectados más que nunca.”

En IMMIGRATION NEXUS, las diferentes organizaciones expertas en inmigración podrán compartir sus proyectos, y publicar sus eventos, reportajes, videos, fotografías, comentarios, recomendaciones, perfiles de sus organizaciones, anuncios e información básica de cómo y dónde encontrarlos. Y, aunque apenas acaba de iniciar, el recién creado proyecto ya cuenta con la participación de diversas organizaciones no lucrativas, clínicas de salud, abogados pro-bono, iglesias, albergues, campos de refugiados, y otras entidades que brindan apoyo a los cientos de miles de familias con problemas migratorios. Entre los que ya se sumaron a la plataforma se encuentran: Border Network for Human Rights, La Placita/Our Lady Queen Of Angels Church, Centro de los Derechos del migrante, Inc., California Immigrant Policy Center, Border Angels, Diocesan Migrant and Refugee Services, Inc., y Hermandad Mexicana Nacional. https://www.immigrationnexus.org

“En tiempos en los que nuestras comunidades de inmigrantes están bajo constantes ataques, agradecemos ser parte de la importante labor que está realizado IMMIGRATION NEXUS, para empoderar a nuestra comunidad con claridad y compasión.” Dijo Sandra Cordero, directora de Families Belong Together. “Compartiendo esta información crítica en una sola plataforma de fácil acceso, NEXUS hará posible que nuestra gente obtenga los datos necesarios para su bienestar y seguridad, mientras pasan por el complicado proceso de llegada a un nuevo país. Esta plataforma en una excelente manera de decir: inmigrantes, bienvenidos aquí.”

Las artistas y activistas terminaron la presentación compartiendo un ameno cocktail con los miembros de los medios, con amigos, colegas, colaboradores y voluntarios, que llegaron a apoyar su nueva iniciativa hasta las instalaciones de la legendaria San Antonio Winery. Entre los presentes, se encontraban el señor Gil Cedillo, concejal de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles, la señora Patricia López, Vice cónsul general de El Salvador, y Felipe Carrera Aguayo, jefe consular de la Oficina de Protección y Ayuda Legal del consulado de México en Los Ángeles.
