PBM Breakfast, Feb 10
VIDEO. The guest speaker at our Prepared By Men’s Breakfast was Ruby Bixby, up and coming member of the Dreamer’s Project. She spoke passionately on the topic “Dignity Not Detention.” And we enjoyed a warm breakfast and a lively discussion.
Ruby Bixby—Public Ally
After completing one year of college in Richmond, Virginia, Ruby returned to her hometown, Santa Fe, and started volunteering with Santa Fe Dreamers Project in the summer of 2023. Shortly after, she became a legal assistant through Public Allies, an AmeriCorp service-based leadership development program. Ruby became interested in studying immigration law after volunteering at Gerard’s House in 2018 as a childcare provider for the Mamas Compartiendo y Sanando[sic] (Moms Sharing and Healing) program, which provides grief support and resources for Latinx families who have suffered a range of immigration-related losses such as death, incarceration, deportation, and separation by borders. As she witnessed the emotional and personal side of migration, she became passionate about learning more about the ever-changing and unjust legal side to our country’s immigration policies. Eventually, Ruby would like to return to college to double major in Public Policy and Spanish on the pre-law track, aspiring to become an immigration lawyer. In her free time, Ruby enjoys listening to music, traveling, and crafting (mostly crocheting and sewing).
