Washington DC
Washington DC has forever been my dream city to visit and now I had the opportunity to go visit the city. This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to Washington DC for Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice (IFTJ) where I got to learn a lot about migration and ecological issues. The theme for this year was Boundless and Beyond. Throughout the conference, we got to learn from a lot of different speakers as a big group and through breakout sessions. For the breakout sessions, I got the chance to go to listen about migration and my favorite speaker was a woman from Venezuela who courage to talk about her journey to the US. Monday was the advocacy day where we got to meet a staff member from our state representative to talk about migration and ecology; I got to meet a staff member from representative Mike Flood’s office. Even though we had a lot going on with the conference we had the opportunity to go explore the city a little and have some delicious food.
