name: Arpi Miller, Community Representative | ||
body-en: Arpi Miller works on the Fuerza Latina emergency immigration hotline | ||
and is a volunteer coordinator with the Education and Outreach team. She also | ||
sits on the steering committee of ISAAC – the Interfaith Sanctuary and | ||
Accompaniment Coalition – and is part of Plymouth Congregational’s immigration | ||
team. She considers herself a Buddeo-Christian and believes insight meditation | ||
and the prophetic Christian tradition are critical tools and grounding forces | ||
in her own social justice work. Prior to living in Colorado, Arpi spent nearly | ||
three years working with a cooperative in highland Guatemala. She returned to | ||
California to pursue her PhD in sociology at UCLA with an emphasis in | ||
international migration. For a decade, during her masters and doctoral work, | ||
she worked with veteran Salvadoran immigrant organizers in the Los Angeles | ||
area, where she feels she received an education better than any university. | ||
During that time, she traveled to El Salvador regularly to monitor elections | ||
and participate in delegations. She currently freelances as a research fellow | ||
with the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at USC, and plays mom to two | ||
boys and a yellow lab. | ||
