Who we are!

Ariadne Georgiou is a wildly visionary sixteen year old who has been advocating for migration justice for years, with no intention of stopping. She has organized emergency aid projects for open-air camps at the US-Mexico border, volunteered at detention center release events and in migrant shelters in Tijuana, taken courses in immigration law and journalism, tutored migrants for naturalization tests, written research papers on detention conditions, and interned with the Government of Cyprus, doing policy research to help develop their refugee and asylum approach. 

 

In school, she competes in Varsity Speech and Debate, serves as a leader of the Model United Nations team, leads a service club focused on food justice, and co-leads the feminist club. She also stage manages and designs lighting for dance performances, volunteers for climate justice and local climate legislation, and helps plan an annual social justice conference for high school students. In her free time, you’ll find her learning another language (currently Arabic), or sitting on the floor of her room, blasting music and making a collage. 

 

Youth Migration Justice Collective was born into an era of unprecedented anti-immigrant hate on the public stage, and it has never been more urgent for our generation to organize into a force to be reckoned with. My heart beats for each of you who contributes yourself, in any small way, to this movement. ♡
