Al Otro Lado is a bi-national, social justice legal services organization serving indigent deportees, migrants, and refugees in Tijuana, Mexico and Southern California. Back in January, Eugene was able to visit their office in the Los Angeles area, and spoke with Regina Ramirez, who works in the legal department, and Melissa Flores, who manages communication. In these two conversations, Eugene asks Regina about working at a bi-national organization and the perspective of those living in Mexico on the immigration crisis at the border. He then speaks with Melissa about the media and how she personally came to work for Al Otro Lado.

More about Al Otro Lado here, and on the homepage you can find the TED talk by litigation director Erika Pinheiro Paul mentions in the introduction: https://alotrolado.org/
