Welcome to Justice Now: The Many Colors of Discrimination. Join us on Wednesday, March 31st at 6:00 pm. In this episode, we look beyond the African American community to explore the recent increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. We’ll also take a look at immigration issues, the disenfranchisement of Indigenous Americans. Listen to the broadcast on your smart speaker (“play ninety-four seven the wave”), your computer’s desktop player, or via the RADIO.COM app.

Sara Mora, a national immigrant rights activist and digital creator + organizer began her activism at the short age of 14. In 2017, she decided to stop college to be an organizer full-time, and she publicly came out as undocumented while at a press conference with the governor of her home state, New Jersey. This moment was detrimental and awakening and it was one of the many moments that led Sara to pursue narrative crafting & storytelling and digital content creation. You can find her on social media @MissSaraMora. Sara has become a sought-after voice in the work of social change with the angle of the migrant community. A college student who took a leave, an influencer, digital media strategist; Sara has dedicated her youth to being a symbol of hope and courage in the face of adversity. From the very short age of 10, Sara served as a youth voice at her local church and community organization. In high school, Sara led conversations around the importance of empowering young students who like her were in need of role models. March 2020 she was named top 10 young Latinx activists/leaders changing the world by Pop Sugar and Do Something. Her journey begins at believing that the world can be changed and ends at the conclusion that the sky is the limit. In her words, ‘this is only the beginning.”
