Knowing Your Rights w/ Alondra Garcia

In this episode, I sit down with my incredible friend Alondra García—a powerhouse educator, activist, and advocate for immigrant communities. Alondra is a second-grade bilingual teacher from Milwaukee’s south side. As a DACA recipient, she knows firsthand the challenges immigrant families face—and she’s not afraid to stand up and fight for them.

And she’s got the receipts to back it up! Alondra has been recognized for her dedication with the 2020 Early Educator Award (Wisconsin Association of Colleges for Teacher Education), the 2021 Civil Rights Award (Voces de la Frontera), WEAC’s Tenia Jenkins Activist Award (2024-25), GSAFE’s 2025 Educator of the Year, and even a Women’s History Month citation from the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors.

We talk about her journey, the backlash she faced for simply helping immigrant families access legal resources (yes, really), and why knowing your rights is more important than ever—especially in this political climate. In the Trump era, conversations like these aren’t just important; they’re necessary. Schools should be safe havens, not places of fear.

So, if you care about immigrant rights, education, or just want to hear from someone who’s out here making real change, this episode is for you. ❤️
