Dignity and Justice

Overview

A remarkably forthright and uncompromising exploration of Catholic conscience. --Kirkus Reviews

This compelling account of the life-and-death struggles migrants face in the United States demonstrates how broken the system is, and the deep harm that it does to struggling families and communities. Author and lawyer Linda Dakin-Grimm, who represents children and families pro-bono in immigration proceedings, offers a proposal informed by Catholic faith for a comprehensive immigration reform and shows how ordinary people can contribute to solving this difficult and polarizing issue.

Linda Dakin-Grimm is a lawyer and immigration advocate.  Working Pro Bono, she has helped more than 75 unaccompanied children and separated families to navigate the complex immigration system.  Linda's book, "Dignity and Justice: Welcoming the Stranger", tells stories and explains both the law and Catholic teaching.  Linda holds a B.A. from Yale University, a J.D. from Harvard Law School and an M.A. in Theology from LMU.  She is a 2020-2021 Advanced Leadership Initiative Fellow of Harvard University
