After 16 years of not being able to go back to the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico I have the opportunity to return to my homeland through advance parole and the California-Mexico Studies Center’s (CMSC) study-travel abroad program. Advance parole is a travel document issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that will allow me to leave the U.S. AND to legally reenter the country.
As some of you know, I do not receive a salary from the community organizing work I do with Movimiento Cosecha. So, I am humbly asking for your support to make this trip a reality.
Here is the breakdown of the monetary needs:
$1,000 - Non-refundable deposit to CMSC to hold my spot in the program
$4,000 - Payment to CMSC , included in the program:
- Advance parole application prep
- Mexican history by CILAC Freire Institute; Chicano studies lectures done by CMSC
- Housing in individual rooms, meals, field trips during the academic program
- Medical services, emergency and travel insurance during each program session
- Group therapy sessions before and during the study abroad program
- Due to the pandemic, the CMSC will provide a private doctor’s care and/or medical referral assistance throughout the program, including during the participants’ independent travel throughout Mexico
- Local transportation to and from field trips
- Lawful CBP re-entry into the U.S. at LAX, arranged by the CMSC
- A chance for me to visit my homeland , engage in ethnographic research
$575 - advance parole application fee → pay U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Total: $5,575
I commit to bringing back learnings to the organizing communities I am a part of and beyond.
