La gran mayoría de los que salimos de #Bolivia cruzamos fronteras con dolor y lágrimas. Es absurdo que el trauma también se repita al regresar.
Levantar muros contra nuestros hermanos es violar los derechos de nuestros hermanos.

“My life and the lives of 700,000 DACA recipients of which 36,000 call the Houston Area home—like me and my brother—are under threat of deportation.”
—Javier (United We Dream - Houston)
On a serious note though, unrestricted mobility is a privilege of the rich and powerful who often own their planes and are welcomed with red carpets—not the poor and tired who risk their lives on foot to cross man-made borders and are often received with handcuffs and cold jails.
Thank you @IPS_DC, @peter_certo, @NM_Dream_Team and @UNITEDWEDREAM - for always supporting my work! :)
Anti-immigrant policies, ICE and CBP are causing a mental health crisis - it's time to abolish and dismantle all of that. #HomeIsHere

When there are predatory, abusive government agencies trying every day to track you down and tear you from your family, your health breaks down.
Anti-immigrant policies are public health issues. It's time to treat them like it.

This weekend, our Houston youth showed up to the City Council Dist J Candidate Forum to let our public officials know: we will be holding you accountable on ALL levels of government! Immigrant youth are #HereToStay
💚💚💚💚 and then I found beautiful Abi, my new friend who is helping out to prep for our closing @UNITEDWEDREAM@UWDTexas summer of dreams activity today! She is fierce, joyful and #HereToStay#SaturdayVibes
680 people (moms, dads, siblings, members of a community) have been arrested, criminalized and separated from their families.
ICE is placing our people in cages and they don’t care about the trauma they inflict in immigrant families.
#AbolishICE & #CloseTheCamps
Ok, Democratic candidates. Let me be clear. We can move forward and progress BEYOND Obama-era immigration policy. Frankly, I don't want another president who will deport 2 million+ people. #FreetoStay
