What does it mean to find common ground on immigration in today’s polarized climate? Rabbi Mark sits down with Tessa Petit, Executive Director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FLIC.org), to discuss the harsh realities facing immigrants in the U.S., from unjust detentions to the emotional toll of living in fear.
Tessa shares her personal journey from Haiti to the U.S., the challenges of navigating a broken system, and the urgent need for compassion, fairness, and truth in the national conversation. Together, they explore how legal definitions, political narratives, and public indifference shape the lives of millions—and what it will take to reclaim our shared humanity.
