Episode 6: Thanksgiving Across Borders & Pilgrims Were Refugees
November 25, 2024
On this episode of Amor al Migrante, we are talking about Thanksgiving traditions. Gail Fitzpatrick, a lawyer in the Estrella del Paso Crime Victims’ Unit, shares her Thanksgiving experiences living in Puerto Rico, Korea, and Germany.
And we talk about the pilgrims as refugees who were fleeing religious persecution.
Also, don’t forget to THANK the farmworkers for much of the food on your plate this holiday season.
Facts:
-The majority (85%) of foreign-born farmworkers first entered the United States more than 10 years ago, with 70% first entering more than 15 years before the date of their NAWS interview.
-78% of all farmworkers identify as Latino/Hispanic. 10% of farmworkers self-identify as indigenous.
