Hegemonicon - An Investigation Into the Workings of Power

Organizing for Immigration in the Obama Era with Carlos Rojas Rodriguez


Listen Later

Longtime immigrants' rights organizer and former Bernie 2020 campaign staffer Carlos Rojas Rodriguez joins "Hegemonicon" to share the history of the youth-led progressive movement of the past decade-plus through the lens of immigrant students.

Over time, Carlos' commitment to fighting for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) as a college student during the Obama administration led him into broader organizing and activism for all Latinx immigrants. This landed him a staff position in the Bernie 2020 campaign, helping to canvas and organize Spanish-speaking voters in early primary states. In this episode Carlos shares why this felt like the right organizing path for him at the time and his concerns for the future.
