Summary

We invited our friend, Juan Escalante to share his thoughts on the situation in Venezuela. Listeners may know Juan as a long-time advocate for immigrants stemming from his own experience as a formerly undocumented young person who fled Venezuela with his family. He is a nationally recognized digital strategist and a leading voice in immigrant rights. Once a DACA recipient, Juan has since become a U.S. Citizen and remains a fixture at state, local, and national advocacy campaigns. Juan published an excellent piece on DOUBLE CLICK, his online publication, immediately after the US’s intervention in his native Venezuela..
