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.
