| Introduction | Independent analyst and commentator based in Seattle, and coordinator of Americas Migration blog. Over four decades, I have published work on topics including migration, Latin America, labor, housing and economics, reporting from Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, Haiti, Italy, Ireland, China, and the U.S. southwest border. Besides Americas Migration and Mira, my work has appeared in Inter Press Service, Foreign Policy In Focus, MSNBC News, and many other publications, in English, Spanish and French. For my first twenty years in the workforce, I did blue-collar work, primarily in construction, shipyards and office-equipment repair. I was active in a union for several years. I also volunteered a second shift as a community organizer. After co-founding the Seattle Tenants Union, I served on the executive board of the National Tenants Union. I was involved in Central America solidarity in the 1980s and 1990s, and taught a course on microprocessors at the Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería in Nicaragua. For my last twenty years of gainful employment, I worked in technical positions in the software industry. I am now retired and embedded as a volunteer with the immigration justice movement. |
