Spencer Bloom & Stefania Arteaga | The Importance of Local Elections for Immigration Policy

Spencer Bloom, Civic Engagement Organizer at El Pueblo in Raleigh, and Stefania Arteaga, Immigrants' Rights Organizer at ACLU of North Carolina address the advances achieved through past local elections and the stakes involved in this year’s elections.
