#closeimmigrantprisons

In immigrant prisons, children are not allowed to hug or comfort their siblings. Children have the right to secure and loving relationships and positive experiences. #closeimmigrantprisons #stopseparatingfamilies #keepfamiliestogether #cultureofcw #childrenswellbeing

The federal government spends $5 million a day ($2 billion a year!) to incarcerate immigrants and refugees, including children and their families. Imagine what we could do if that money was invested into our young people and their educations. #SchoolsNotPrisons #endchilddetention #endmassincarceration #CloseImmigrantPrisons (at Adelanto, California)

Design for yesterday's #SchoolsNotPrisons event in #Adelanto. Adelanto Immigrant Prison is owned by GEO Group, one of the largest for-profit prisons in the county. GEO is facing multiple lawsuits and investigations for the wrongful death of incarcerated people and abusive living condition. We need to #closeimmigrantprisons starting with Adelanto! #endmassincarceration (at Adelanto, California)

In researching immigrant prisons, I came across a story about a lawyer in Los Angeles whose client received a $100,000 bond from the judge. They expected about $5,000 but the client had used a false name at one point and, in the judge’s view, that made her a flight risk. The cost of bail is too damn high and it's putting families at risk of losing their homes, businesses, cars, and loved ones. We must #CloseImmigrantPrisons and put #peopleoverprofit! #endmassincarceration #SchoolsNotPrisons (at Adelanto, California)

On December 10th, @panasandiego held a day of action for International #HumanRightsDay in #SanDiego called #showupforrefugees to lift up #refugeevoices. @sonsandbros asked me to create a few new works to be displayed at the #WaterfrontPark rally and it was great to see them in action. Congrats to the 47 community, labor, interfaith partners and allies on a successful event in solidarity with immigrant and refugee communities. #humanrightsday #showupforrefugees #refugeeswelcome #SchoolsNotPrisons #haitianrefugees #CloseImmigrantPrisons (at Waterfront Park)

Life inside an immigrant prison is dangerous for trans womxn who face abuse including sexual assault and denial of medical care. We must #EndTransDetention and #CloseImmigrantPrisons starting with #Adelanto. #TransLiberation NOW! #peoplenotprofits #endmassincarceration #SchoolsNotPrisons (at Adelanto, California)

Mothers are being ripped apart from their children, fathers are being forcibly removed from their families, children are being taken. We have to speak out & #RiseUpAsOne for those who aren’t able to do that themselves. #Vote TODAY in the #CAprimary ✊🏽❤️ Art by @spiritysol . . . #Vota #Resiste #ImmigrantLife #LifeForAll #SanctuaryForAll #StandUpFightBack #ProtectOurCommunities #TogetherWeRise #ImmigrantRights #CloseImmigrantPrisons #Organize
