There are more than 62 million Latine people living in the United States. Some are US-born, others are recent immigrants, and still more have had family members here for centuries—living on land that was once part of Mexico. This week, Mónica Ramírez returns to Getting Curious to discuss how the Latine community is “deeply rooted” in the US, what it looks like to protect the humanity and dignity of these 62 million people, and why advocates like Mónica aren’t simply showing up at spaces of consequence to address systemic issues—they’re creating spaces of consequence.CW: This episode discusses bodily harm and hateful rhetoric.Mónica Ramírez is an attorney, author, and activist fighting for the rights of farmworkers,  migrant women workers, and the Latine(x) community. She is the founder of Justice for Migrant  Women and co-founder of Alianza Nacional de Campesinas, The Latinx House, and Poderistas.
