Public Health doctoral student Nina Masters said public health work tends to only spread inside a small echo chamber, so the podcast acts as a medium for sharing knowledge. “I think that these kinds of ideas have to be incorporated into STEM fields, especially public health, because the nature of it is so much about impacting the public and changing behavior and raising awareness,” she said. “It’s kind of weird that it’s not a mandatory part of the program, or at least something that people are trying to do. I just, kind of, hope that this can be part of initiatives by the School of Public Health and other schools to try to just increase students’ ability to find other ways to articulate their ideas.” In the first season — which will run weekly through the end of August — will cover a range of topics from the opioid epidemic and gun safety, to aging and childhood nutrition. Each 20 to 30-minute episode will feature three or four professionals who will showcase their different perspectives and expertise. With over 200 students, 530 faculty and staff and 16,000 alumni, the School of Public Health studies topics ranging from epidemiology and health management, to biostatistics and environmental health sciences. More than 100 demand rights for undocumented immigrants On Saturday, more than one hundred community members gathered at the Washtenaw County Administration Building to urge Washtenaw County and the Michigan legislature to allow undocumented individuals to obtain driver’s licenses. Carrying signs and banging makeshift drums, participants marched through downtown Ann Arbor in a demonstration led by the Ann Arbor chapter of Movimiento Cosecha, a national nonviolent movement fighting for the protection of undocumented immigrants’ rights. Movimiento Cosecha Ann Arbor wrote they are demanding driver’s licenses for everyone as driving without licenses causes the immigrant community uncertainty and fear. Filling the streets with signs and banners while chanting “¿Cuando? !Ahora!” (When? Now!), Spanish and non-Spanish speakers alike walked in solidarity. In 2008, a 2007 Attorney General opinion was implemented, denying licences to all undocumented people, including lawful noncitizens. Prior to this implementation, individuals only needed to prove their identity and Michigan residency when applying for a driver’s license. Movimiento Cosecha organizer Sergio Hurtado explained driver’s licenses are important for undocumented immigrants to be able to drive out and perform the basic tasks such as running errands, taking their kids to school or going to work. Hurtado said the march had two purposes: to demand that Wasthenaw County pass a resolution in support of immigrants and to urge legislation be introduced in the state legislature that would give access to driver’s license to undocumented immigrants. “We wanted the community to come out here and be united and show our presence, and show that in this political climate we are not afraid,” Hurtado said. The demonstration comes during a period of heightened interest in the immigration system, with politicians touring facilities at the border. Immigration reform is also a main issue in the Democratic presidential primary, and has been a major talking point for President Trump. Jose Alvarez, son of a member of Movimiento Cosecha, explained the impact of driver’s licenses from a youth standpoint. He said kids of undocumented immigrants are afraid, and he hopes that every time they go to the drug store, or Immigrant rights garner A2 support Read more at michigandaily.com SAMANTHA SMALL Summer News Editor FRANCESCA DUONG For The Daily KARTIK SUNDARAM/Daily Community members rally for undocumented individuals the right to obtain driver’s licenses at the Washtenaw County Administration Building Saturday. 420 Maynard St. Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1327 www.michigandaily.com CASSANDRA MANSUETTI Editor in Chief 734-418-4115 opt.3 cassette@michigandaily.com RYAN KELLY Business Manager 734-418-4115 ext. 1241 dailydisplay@gmail.com EDITORIAL STAFF Barbara Collins & Alex Harring Managing News Editors news@michigandaily.com Erin White Editorial Page Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Jorge Cazares & Akul Vijayvargiya Managing Sports Editors sportseditors@michigandaily.com Julianna Morano Managing Arts Editor arts@michigandaily.com Alexandria Pompei & Natalie Stephens Managing Photo Editors photo@michigandaily.com Alec Cohen & Kathryn Halverson Managing Design Editors design@michigandaily.com Emily Stillman Managing Copy Editor copydesk@michigandaily.com Devak Nanua & Sam So Managing MiC Editors michiganincolor@michigandaily.com Amir Basha Managing Online Editor webteam@michigandaily.com CONTACT INFORMATION Newsroom Office hours: Sun.-Thurs. 11 a.m. - 2 a.m. 734-763-2459 opt.3 News Tips news@michigandaily.com Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Letters to the Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com or visit michigandaily.com/letters Photo Department photo@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Magazine statement@michigandaily.com Advertising Phone: 734-418-4115 Department dailydisplay@gmail.com Read more at michigandaily.com The Michigan Daily (ISSN 0745-967) is published Monday through Friday during the fall and winter terms by students at the University of Michigan.
