Miriam Uribe, Consumer Justice Paralegal, Urban Justice Center Community Development Project, USF ’17
Miriam is an undocumented woman of color born in Guanajuato, Mexico. At the age of eight, she migrated to California along with her family. She is currently a senior double majoring in Politics and Latin American Studies at the University of San Francisco. Through her experiences in the Undocumented Student Task Force at USF, being a Dream Summer Fellow, and working as an interpreter for asylum cases she has found the power of storytelling in social movements. As an advocate for her undocumented community, she has pushed for a more inclusive campus, a scholarship fund dedicated to undocumented students, and for USF to be declared a sanctuary campus. In the future, she hopes to become an immigration lawyer and continue with her advocacy work fighting for immigrant rights. Although her future is uncertain at this point because of her DACA status, Miriam will continue to fight for everyone in her undocumented community.
