Our approach to immigrant liberation work is rooted in each of our personal experiences as immigrants, children of immigrants, people of color, survivors, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ community members. Given our identities, we are familiar with the experience of being oppressed and excluded. Every day at Pangea, we dedicate significant staff capacity to creating a professional space that is more inclusive than any we have been part of, in order to empower us each to reach our full potential.
