The Communication Initiative
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

El documental retrata la historia de los miles de inmigrantes ilegales mexicanos que viven en Farmingville, Long Island, trabajando como jardineros, en la construcción y restaurantes de ese pueblo del condado de Suffolk, y su rechazo por los residentes locales.

En 78 minutos, el filme ofrece un dramático vistazo de cómo los líderes políticos y comunitarios de este suburbio de los Estados Unidos se enfrentan a los jornaleros mexicanos para defender lo que ellos llaman su "seguridad" e "identidad nacional".
