#FreeThemAll #LibertadParaTodos "We’ve been working with powerful visionaries across the country for this artistic intervention. 11 actions/sites, 12 cities, 6 states in collaboration with 20+ orgs and 80 artists, including #undocuartists . Tbh: This work shouldnt have to exist, but this country that supposedly has a fucken “Independence” Day this weekend continues to cage our communities. And make no mistake: When we say #AbolishICE, we also mean #DefundThePolice (Full Stop, as @osopepatrisse has said)." @sethernandezr #InPlainSight #XMAP #LookUp #FreeThemAll #AbolishICE #DefundHate #prisonindustrialcomplex #resist #closethecamps #AbolishPolice #Abolition #stopicetransfers 📷 by @jorgerh2o https://www.instagram.com/p/CCPCDw_Fwvf/?igshid=15d4nx9txqe5u

Fairness, freedom, opportunity, and respect for human rights should be at the core of our immigration system. This so-called “Independence Day” 80 artists and immigrant rights organizations are joining together to launch @inplainsightmap – a stunning effort to make visible the injustices of the largest immigration detention system in the world. In Plain Sight's collective of artists – representing an array of ages, gender presentations and subjective lived experiences that have come together in solidarity to help abolish immigrant detention. ICE detention is the practice of incarcerating immigrants–from those who have just arrived to those who’ve lived in the U.S. for years–while they await a determination of their status or potential deportation. Various reports detail horrifying conditions. The federal government wastes more than $25 billion each year on ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to profile, detain and deport immigrants.
