BorderLinks welcomes new staff member Josue Saldivar

Josue is an undocuqueer Mexican immigrant directly impacted by the risk of being detained and/or deported. His activism started in 2009 when he was employed by ScholarshipsA-Z, one of BorderLinks’ community partners. ScholarshipsA-Z provides resources and scholarshipsto make higher education accessible to all regardless of immigration status. In 2014, he was introduced to another BorderLinks community partner, Mariposas Sin Fronteras, and has been a member since then. Josue’s first involvement with BorderLinks was as a presenter for ScholarshipsA-Z in 2011. He became a BorderLinks delegation leader in 2015 and has led a half-dozen delegations.  Josue's position is a temporary one, funded through the end of June 2018, when the number of delegations drops significantly.
