In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I address the urgent topic of what's been going on with the ongoing ICE raids in Los Angeles and how we can support first-gen college and grad students who have been impacted. I discuss the emotional and logistical challenges these students face, such as avoiding campus, caregiving responsibilities, and financial insecurity. I also share practical resources including knowing your rights, establishing a family emergency plan, and utilizing campus support services. I stress the importance of community support, active listening, and sustainable activism. And I encourage my listeners to tap into provided resources, support local advocacy, and create safe and brave spaces for affected individuals. Listen to learn how to care for yourself and your community during devastating times.
