Alan Muñoz welcomes participants to the second Civic Leader Education and Advocacy Program in Mexico City on May 28, 2024. Muñoz helped Latino advocacy nonprofit Voces Unidas launch the international program in 2023 and invited DACA recipients, who normally can’t travel abroad, to participate, helping them apply for federal travel permits.
