Sergio Cira Reyes: Movimiento Cosecha
An estimated 11 million residents of the United States do not have formal authorization to live there. Some overstayed visas. Others crossed the border illegally in search of work, safety, or family members. Over the years, they have become contributing members of their respective communities: from Savannah to Spokane, from Albany to Albuquerque. They clean our hotel rooms, pick our produce, construct buildings, and even start businesses in their adopted cities. Born of the farmworker movement, Cosecha (Spanish for "harvest") is advocating for life with dignity for all immigrants. Sergio Cira Reyes explains how.
