Bernie Sanders Just Hired The Best Known Immigration Activist In The Country
http://www.buzzfeed.com/adriancarrasquillo/bernie-sanders-just-hired-the-best-known-immigration-activis#.hqYPA7pGpq
Bernie Sanders continues a spree of hiring immigration activists, with the biggest one yet, Erika Andiola of the Arizona Dream Action Coalition.
Erika Andiola, the most well-known immigration activist in the country, is joining the Bernie Sanders campaign, according to three sources with knowledge of the hire.
Its a big splash in the immigration movement, as Andiola is respected up and down the loosely connected advocacy apparatus that includes groups close to the Democratic establishment, groups far to the left, and undocumented immigrants in local communities, where Andiola has worked across the country.
Andiola joins her boyfriend Cesar Vargas, himself a high-profile DREAMer activist, who was hired by Sanders last week and will also focus on Latino outreach in the southwest states, with Nevada and its early caucus, a focal point.
Before Hillary Clinton even announced that she was running for president, her National Political Director Amanda Renteria was talking to Andiola on the phone, and after Clintons major spring event in May they exchanged emails for the campaign to connect with policy experts. The campaign would go on to hire another advocate, Lorella Praeli, from advocacy organization United We Dream, to lead Latino outreach.
Martin OMalleys campaign and Director of Public Engagement Gabriela Domenzain also used Andiola, along with other activists, as a sounding board as they crafted their immigration policy.
Andiola has long explained that her objective during the cycle was to push Clinton, the presumed favorite for the Democratic nomination, to the left on immigration.
Now she joins Sanders, who has now hired a string of activists long-involved in immigration battles. In addition to Andiola and Vargas, the Sanders campaign recently hired Arturo Carmona of Presente to lead Latino outreach, and named Javier Gonzalez formerly of SEIU the campaigns Nevada field director.
She is definitely one of the most well-known DREAMers and she has a huge community following in the undocumented and immigrant rights community, said Gaby Pacheco, herself a veteran of fights for immigration legislation over the last decade.

Bernie Sanders Just Hired The Best Known Immigration Activist In The Country (Original Post)

(9,289 posts)1. Immigrants can trust Sanders, not Clinton. Clinton voted to build a wall on the border.
She urged sending refugee children back to the violence they fled.
She said that she was "against illegal immigrants."
She failed to actively oppose the coup in Honduras.
She adores Kissinger and seeks his advice.
