The Past, Present, and Future of Seeking Asylum in America

Immigration

Here's how new policies are making it almost impossible to get asylum in the U.S., especially for people fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. This is how we got here and what you can do to help.

Emerson Collective is partnering with NowThis to share stories of people, places, and issues that impact our lives. By raising awareness, we hope to inspire action and spur ideas for ways we can all be more involved in solving problems that are affecting so many communities.
