This summer, I completed a fellowship with the Migrant Workers Centre of British Columbia (“MWC”) with the support of the IHRP. I worked alongside and learned directly from workers, advocates, organizers, and lawyers, opening my eyes to the challenges and complexities of seeking justice for migrant workers. I came away from this fellowship in awe of the resilience and love that migrant workers and those supporting them embody every day. Upon reflection, I can’t separate what I learned about the law from the stories of the people I've met, from the land, or from the emotions and magic I experienced, nor would I want to.
