Dear Friends,

For those of you in the D.C. area, join us next Friday, March 13, for a book presentation and expert commentary with Lisette Poole and CDA staff regarding regional migration, including migration trends from Cuba to the U.S., and how U.S. policy impacts those trends. Poole will present her bilingual book, La paloma y la ley (The dove and the law), which follows two Cuban migrant women, Marta Amaro and Liset Barrios, on their journey to reach the United States. Poole joined Amaro and Barrios as they crossed several borders over 51 days in 2016. Find more information about the event linked here.
