Border-Crossing Action Concludes at MayDay Immigrant's Rights Protest in DC
Jeff and Sue on Stage, Giving a Reportback to the MayDay Crowd
Our journey across the border came full circle as we joined the Mayday Immigrant's Right's protest in DC. There we told the story of our journey along the migrant trails to the community assembled there and added our voices to those of
Mexicanos Sin Fronteras,
Occonechee Village, the
Virginia Anarchist Federation,
The Defenders and others in the call for justice.
During the months to come, we will travel throughout the region sharing our experiences along the border. We will offer popular education workshops designed to engage people of many different perspectives in productive dialogue about the ways that border issues and economic policies affect people to the north and south. We will partner with immigrant-led groups to offer know-your-rights training and begin development of a regional network able to respond to ICE raids. If you would like to work with us to schedule an event in your area please
contact us.
