BOSTON - Californer -- The Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation today announces its second Let's Talk Series event of 2025. On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, 7-9 pm EDT (UTC-4), Iván Espinoza-Madrigal, Executive Director of Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR) will present At the Crossroads: Immigration Today. This webinar will be translated to Spanish.
Join us for a timely conversation on the urgent immigration issues shaping our communities and our country. As legal battles rage and policies shift, we explore the real-life impact on migrants, families, and futures—while spotlighting the courage and resilience emerging in response. This is more than a discussion about borders and bureaucracy—it's a call to imagine new pathways, to uplift human dignity, and to reclaim justice in the face of adversity. Join us to listen, share, and activate.
Iván Espinoza-Madrigal is the Executive Director of Lawyers for Civil Rights (LCR), an organization founded at the request of President John F. Kennedy in the 1960s at the height of the civil rights movement. LCR is the largest and oldest organization in New England working on legal and policy issues at the intersection of racial justice, immigration, public health, education, and entrepreneurship. LCR is a recent MacKenzie Scott grant recipient.
Iván has filed and won dozens of life-changing and law-changing cases on a wide range of civil rights issues across the country. His work is regularly featured in publications such as the New York Times, and documentary films like Martha's Vineyard v. DeSantis (MSNBC). Iván was recently recognized as "Lawyer of the Year" by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, and as "Bostonian of the Year" by the Boston Globe. Boston Magazine has recognized Iván as one of Boston's Most Influential People. The National LGBT Bar Association has recognized him as one of the Best LGBT Lawyers Under 40, and the Boston Business Journal included Iván in its "Top 40 Under 40" list in 2018.
