Video via @ndlon: Will you join us to say #Not1More Deportation?

Today we invite you to be part of the on-going struggle to stop the deportations through arts, organizing, and advocacy.

In recent weeks, we’ve been flooded with cases of people on the brink of being torn from their families and their homes because of unjust deportations. Our communities can no longer tolerate this colossal injustice. We are too strong to allow it to continue.

Together we will pushback against deportations, criminalization, and intolerance. Through a combination of artistic expression and organizing, we’ll accompany people facing deportation who refuse to be victimized and we will build a campaign to achieve equality.

Watch the video, check out the new site, and join us in saying, “Not one more.”

As Fernando, Hector, and Alejandro write, there is no stronger force than “the expression of a people in motion and the artists who accompany us… we need to combine our creativity with our cause.”

The new site is a central hub to:

  • support people fighting their own deportations
  • collect art that shows the pain of removal and the strength of our community
  • share resources for you to exercise the right to remain and stop deportations yourself.


Please visit http://notonemoredeportation.com to get involved.

I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.

I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but i dont think it will be based on the colour of the skin… -Malcolm X
