Description
Pete Neeley, S.J., of the Kino Border Initiative, will be the keynote speaker for the event. Fr. Neeley, a Jesuit and GU alumnus, spends time at the U.S./ Mexico border completing advocacy and service work. He helps run the Center for Community Engagement’s Justice In January program.
Fr. Neeley's work will inform the conversation of the conference:
“[At the] heart of his work is a resolve to restore humanity to the immigration conversation, which he advocates, ‘is more complex than what is portrayed by statistics in news stories," he seeks "to engage in respectful dialogue with people from the US Border Patrol tasked with enforcing immigration law, but also with those who are directly impacted like immigrants and community members who are supporting migrants who are being deported from the U.S.” See more at Kaya Crawford's article for the Gonzaga Bulletin.
