International Students Speak

On Do Justice we’ve always aimed to highlight the voices of people who are heard less.  Recent events in the U.S. have brought to light the profound impact that immigration policies can have on the opportunities and plans of international students.  In this series we hear directly from international students and we listen carefully to their experiences and stories.
