Los Caminos de La Vida Storytelling Project
A project created to amplify the voices of our Idahoan immigrant community.
About the Project
Los Caminos de la Vida is an artivism (art + activism) project by the ACLU of Idaho’s SOMOS program. The goal of this project is to use storytelling to challenge misinformation and harmful narratives about immigrants and Latines in Idaho.
This project aims to educate non-immigrants about the challenges many immigrant families face because of an immigration system that has failed them by sharing stories that counter pervasive negative portrayals of immigrants.
If you are interested in learning more about the project, please check out our FAQ page.
