ABOUT THE PANELISTS
Erika Andiola, Chief Advocacy Officer of RAICES
Originally from Durango, Mexico, Erika Andiola has harnessed her experience as an undocumented immigrant to elevate marginalized communities, inspire movements, and mobilize activists on the front lines of the battle for migrant justice. As the first Chief Advocacy Officer of RAICES, Erika has assumed her position as a leading civil rights activist of our generation, changing the narrative around immigration and paving the way for reform. Previously, Erika was the co-founder of the Dream Action Coalition and president of the Arizona Dream Act Coalition, where she fought for the passage of the DREAM Act. She has also served on the United We Dream Network board and as Political Director of Our Revolution, a political action organization spun out of Senator Bernie Sanders’s 2016 presidential campaign for which Erika was Press Secretary for Latinx Outreach.

Tamika D. Mallory, Activist, Co-Founder of Until Freedom
