Fundraisers

HUMANO Mexico's first Human Rights Film Festival is a non profit Film Festival set in Tijuana Mexico, a few steps from the USA/Mex Border . HUMANO received more of '3200 films in the last 6 weeks on the platform Filmfreeway.  Filmmakers from more than 122 countries reached out to us and causing us to break international records on submission of a First time Film festival.

HUMANO Film Festival does not charge any fees to submit or screen Films,  instead we promote and reward the Filmmakers who feature  short films that advance issues related to Human Rights. HUMANO welcomes productions that speak to stories of humans experiencing violations of rights as a human and productions that examine the rights of: access to our planet, ethnic groups, education access, equity, health access, gender inequality, migration challenges, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia and other obstacles that impede a dignified and balanced life across the human spectrum.

 We are looking for your support to give to each of the winners a prize  to keep making films that contribute on a social impact and to support the new generations of Artivism. With your help they will be able to keep fighting for the freedom of speech . At the same time we are launching HUMANO Cinema Movil to bring Movies and Art lessons to shelters and indigenous groups over The Border.

The Mobile School project was born from the collaboration between two humanitarian aid organizations Border Angels and The Schoolbox Project. As you may know, Border Angels sponsors ~15 shelters in Tijuana, MX serving migrant families who often spend many months waiting for asylum hearings and next steps. The shelters house hundreds of children, many of whom have spent months, if not years outside of the school system - if they were able to attend in their home countries at all.

As some of you know, I volunteer with Border Angels twice a month as a water drop safety monitor. We essentially trek into the desert to leave life saving water and food along high-traffic migrant paths. The summer trips are made during temps well into the triple digits, with the last route exceeding 7miles in 112degree heat. I’m hoping my friends and family might be able to help me pay for a wilderness first aid course through REI so that I can better assist my team if an emergency situation presents itself.
The course is $245. Any additional funds raised will go to Border Angels to pay for additional safety monitors to attend the wilderness first aid class or to supplies that we will carry into the desert for migrants.
Please specify if you have a preference to where your donation goes.

“We will be using the donations to help provide resources and items to the migrants over the border who are in need. We work with many shelters in Tijuana. We do our best to provide support and care for the men, women, and children in the shelters. Border Angels has expanded to conduct humanitarian work for migrants and advocates for human rights, humane immigration reform, and social justice. Our work is aimed at reducing the number of lives lost along the U.S.-Mexico border: people who are seeking a better life, basic sustenance for their family, or freedom from poverty and violence.”

Run for the humane treatment of immigrants
My name is Gerardo and I am running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon this year to help raise money for the non-profit Border Angels. Border Angels is a wonderful organization based out of San Diego and Tijuana that helps advocate for human rights, humane immigration reform, as well as social justice. Some of the services that they provide include free immigration consultations, educational programs, water drops, day labor outreach, and Caravans of Love. I chose this cause because the recent treatment of immigrants by the government is inhumane and this organization is doing their part to help at this trying time. I ask you to please take the time to donate to this cause. Thank you.
