Episode 41: What's really going on at the border?
ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Immigration. Such a hard topic in our culture today, but a much needed conversation. Maybe you are unsure of what to believe and struggling to understand the narrative behind immigration. Today's episode is a great conversation with Sarah Jackson, author of "The House the Love Built" and Executive Director of Casa de Paz.
Because, immigrants...we get the job done.

Meet Sarah
When Sarah visited the US/Mexico border, it changed her life. She spent time with immigrants separated from their families and listened to their stories.
Her own family is super close—the kind that looks forward to every minute together. So, when Sarah saw families being torn apart, she couldn’t look away.
Back home, Sarah took stock of her resources: a one bedroom apartment and a belief that families belonged together. She began hosting families separated by immigrant detention.
If you ask Sarah how she does it, she’ll laugh and say it’s not rocket science. For the people whose isolation has been eased, it’s something even better. It’s love.
