Over the past few weeks, our organization has tried to process and fully understand the harsh reality of what Palestinians must be experiencing and witnessing as their lineage, indigenous roots, and family ties are slowly being stripped from history. It’s not only the history of Palestine but the lives of all the individuals who have been harmed, humiliated, separated from their loved ones, displaced, and killed over the last few decades.
We are compelled to express our solidarity with the people of Palestine and those who are advocating for a #Ceasefire within the border region of Gaza. |

Many of our staff and members understand what it means to be treated without dignity —to be caged, barred from traveling and moving freely, to be dehumanized, and to be treated as nothing but disposable.
As we currently face one of the most oppressive bills in the history of the State of Texas, like the Show Me Your Papers Bill (HB4), it is critical not to look away or stay silent when atrocities occur, especially coming from those with privilege.
On Dia de los Muertos, we recommit to never forget the lives that have been lost and to find community in this moment. We encourage folks to join us this Friday, November 3rd, as we honor the deaths of those in our communities and beyond.
We will be hosting this event alongside the Texas Civil Rights Project, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, Latino Justice, and Never Again Action to acknowledge the many lives lost in several communities, including those lost along the border, in our State prisons, and under poor labor conditions, among other issues.
This event will also be a space for art, poetry, food and beverages for all. Ultimately, this is a space for those you lost in the criminal legal system, immigration enforcement systems, close friends, or to honor the thousands of Palestinians that have lost their lives over the last three weeks. We hope to see you there. |
