This week, the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium — a project of Alliance San Diego — held the 2019 SDIRC Awards to recognize the individuals and organizations who did outstanding work around immigrants and refugees this year. Here are the 2019 SDIRC Award winners:

Alliance San Diego was in DC last week with our partners from the Southern Border Communities Coalition (SBCC). It was a critical time to be in our nation’s capital as the Supreme Court took up DACA and the cross-border shooting of Sergio Adrian Guereca Hernandez.
