Kazi Fouzia: From Being 'Undocumented' to Being a Community Justice Organizer (Podcast Episode 51)

In this episode, we talk to Community Justice Organizer Kazi Fouzia from Bangladesh.

In this conversation, she takes us through her journey, from being an ‘undocumented’ to undergoing an accident to filing a law-suit for her rights as an employee, and then to getting back to her career in community leadership and activism in New York City.

One interesting thing she says is, one of the problems facing the immigrants is, a class-struggle amongst themselves – a discrimination amongst each other on how successful I was back home versus now having to do a low paying job with someone of much lower skill level. 

She shares that, unless people develop the understanding that no matter how high or low you were in your job hierarchy back home, it is important to work hand -in-hand with people from all walks of life as we try to build a new community in the new country.
