Spanish community focused project: extension of Love Over Fear ( Launch July 20, 2025)

In these times of persecution against immigrants, we seek to create empathy, sensitivity, and understanding by uplifting courageous immigrant journeys. In the darkness, they find the light of hope in their journeys—through love over fear.

At IM4HI we believe that immigrants, especially those who have experienced the challenges of our immigration system firsthand, know best how we can collectively serve those in their same immigration journeys. 

Join us as we uplift the work of Caminos de Esperanza: Voces de Migrante / Pathways of Hope: Migrant Voices led by Pablo Guerrero.

About Pablo’s Work

We’re honored to highlight the leadership and talents of Pablo Guerrero, an asylum-seeker from Nicaragua who has become an invaluable member of the IM4HI community. Pablo offers pro-se legal clinics and consultations to families in our Accompaniment Programs, helping empower them to stand in love over fear.Beyond his legal work, Pablo created and leads Caminos de Esperanza, a powerful storytelling initiative that centers the lived experiences of immigrants and asylum seekers. Through visual narratives, his work raises awareness and fosters empathy for those who have migrated—individuals who continue to face immense challenges with unwavering resilience and hope.

A Message from Pablo

At the heart of this project is a deep desire to create space for connection, compassion, and truth-telling. Inspired by the courageous journeys of those who migrate in search of safety and dignity, this work is rooted in love, community, and the power of story.

Before we invite you to explore the highlights from our launch event, we are honored to share a few words from the project’s leader—words that beautifully capture the spirit and purpose behind Paths of Hope. Read original statement in Spanish here. 

“This program seeks to raise awareness and empathy for the stories of those who have migrated, facing obstacles similar to those of turtles that travel long journeys with hope and perseverance.

The reasons for migration are diverse: political persecution, violence, poverty, discrimination, among others. Each story reflects their struggle and desire to live. Those who decide to migrate face a journey full of obstacles and dangers, but also dreams, hope, and a great willingness to move forward for a better future.

Each story we will share in this space reflects that same willingness to fight and to trust in a more positive destiny. I invite you to open your hearts, to listen with empathy, and to understand that behind each testimony there is a story of struggle, dreams, and hope.

Thank you for being part of this dream, of this initiative that seeks to bring us closer together and help us get to know each other more deeply. On our journey, your love has been our hope.

Now, let’s start walking.”
