The Seekers Mindset: Embracing Difference Is the Answer

To combat the most common misconceptions about immigration spread by the far right on YouTube, Define American teamed up with four influencers to create a series of explainer videos focused on four different major narratives, with the intention of reaching audiences often targeted by right-wing influencers and media networks.

In this video, she breaks down the demographic shifts happening in this country, and what this raw data could mean for the emerging identity of our nation. 

Do We Really Need a Border Wall?: Douglas Massey, PhD, a professor of sociology at Princeton University and prominent migration studies scholar, explains the history of our southern border, and what “building a wall” would really mean. The video was distributed in partnership with the Gravel Institute.
