panic. Having members within the<br />
community that can advocate and<br />
counsel them is crucial.”<br />
Most recently, and the reason<br />
for this honor, CODE Legal Aid has<br />
spearheaded the fight to help hundreds<br />
of Iraqi nationals detained by<br />
Immigration and Customs Enforcement<br />
(ICE) alongside the American<br />
Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).<br />
As CODE Legal Aid receives this<br />
honor, CODE and their many volunteers<br />
continue their effort to aid the<br />
community during this crisis, measuring<br />
their successes by the people<br />
they can help. “Ultimately, our successes<br />
are determined by the communities<br />
we serve,” said Kalasho. “If<br />
we can shield the vulnerable among<br />
us enough that they no longer have<br />
to cower in fear or feel marginalized,<br />
then we can count that as an<br />
achievement.”<br />
For Kalasho, this honor not only<br />
highlights the tireless work of her<br />
and her partner’s, but it also brings<br />
a certain air of sentimentality as her<br />
brother, a U of M alum, founded<br />
the Live From Babylon event during<br />
his time as a member of U of M’s<br />
CASA chapter. “We shared a laugh<br />
about things coming full circle,” said<br />
Kalasho. “I’m truly humbled by the<br />
honor, and I’m looking forward to<br />
the event.”<br />
