Show Notes
Immigration and agricultural have been closely connected since the founding of America. In fact, we celebrate this special relationship every Thanksgiving. Today’s guest is Monica Reyes, co-Founder of DREAMer Iowa -- an organization advocating for Iowa’s undocumented population. Monica is a community leader and organizer who grew up without papers in a small northern Iowa town. We talk about organizing, politics, and how undocumented immigrants are shaping the future of rural communities.
