Los Caminos de La Vida Storytelling Project
A project created to amplify the voices of our Idahoan immigrant community.
Los Caminos de la Vida is an artivism (activism + art) project by the ACLU of Idaho’s SOMOS program, an initiative to challenge misinformation and harmful narratives about immigrants and Latines in Idaho through storytelling.
This project aims to educate non-immigrants about the challenges many immigrant families face because of a system that has failed them by sharing their stories and lived experiences to counter pervasive negative portrayals about them.
PLEASE READ THE FAQ AND STORYTELLER GUIDE BEFORE SUBMITTING A STORY.
