How do undocumented immigrants facing social and economic injustices in the workplace and their own communities find the resources to thrive in the United States? D.C. organizer, using the pseudonym, Jacinto Maldonado Torres, came to Washington, D.C. in 2010 when he was 15 years old. Originally from Mexico City, he attended D.C. public schools and recently earned an associates degree in early childhood education at the University of the District of Columbia. His previous experiences at immigrant youth empowerment meetings fostered his passion for teaching other immigrants about their rights and resources in the United States. In this episode of Undocu-Life, Jacinto tells us about his work empowering other immigrants, especially those working in the restaurant industry, to utilize resources and overcome adversity, including health and economic challenges.
