Friend,

Right now I am on my way to attend MTV’s Video Music Awards in Newark, New Jersey! Last year some of our members and families impacted by Trump’s racist policies were able to share the stage with Logic, remember? Take a look:

This year, I have the chance to attend along some other amazing leaders and I need your help tonight. Instead of wearing any fancy gowns or dresses tonight, I am wearing a simple T-shirt that says: “Free Our People! Abolish ICE!” I’m wearing this shirt because right now artists and activists alike need to speak up. We must join together.

We must protest against all the horrifying abuses against immigrant children and their families! So tonight, during the VMAs help me get our nation's attention on our communities. Join me, Friend, and help me tweet out our demands and raise our voices together!

I’ll keep you updated on how my night at the VMAs goes through my Twitter and Instagram.

Let’s do this,

Cristina from UWD
