Busy first week in DC with festivals, adjusting to the city, preparations for the NMSHSA Public Policy Forum, and public transportation learning! 

The first week of work and an insight into what I have been working on. I learned about the Hershey Lawsuit being dismissed and did a brief search on cocoa bean harvesting.

As my first week ends, I reflect on my congressional visits, DACA panel, and other projects I am working on. Interning at the National Migrant and Seasonal Head Start Association has provided me with amazing opportunities and a new perspective on my career goals.

A brief overview of what I will be starting Monday with the Child Labor Coalition and Justice for Migrant Women. Excited to work with these two organizations; and what I learned during my two weeks in DC.

My placement is with the AFOP. I am very excited to share that their mission aligns with the change I would like to see for farmworker children and families. I look forward to sharing stories of members of my community that come from agriculture backgrounds.
