The artist behind this painting, Criselda Vasquez, painted this portrait of her parents in 2017. The man in this painting, her father, was recently taken by ICE. He has lived in the United States for forty years. This loss has made it hard for the family to support themselves. If you want to support them, you can go to their GoFundMe here:

The United States is one of the few world governments that does not directly fund it’s Olympic team. It is fully funded by corporate sponsorships and private donations.
Which means our athletes don’t represent the American government.
They represent the American people.
