The Road to Safety Shouldn't be Deadly

"Last week, Quixote Center met with the families and survivors of a fatal bus crash in Panama that killed over 40 migrants. One of the worst transportation accidents in Panamanian history, the crash deeply rattled the country and exposed some ugly truths...Searching for safety shouldn't be deadly, but it is by design, as the U.S. has doubled down on deterrence as its main immigration strategy."

 Take Action for Peace in Haiti

Gang violence in Haiti is ramping up and has tragically claimed the lives of at least 187 people over the past two weeks. The people of Haiti deserve to live in peace. A bipartisan effort, the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act seeks to impose individual sanctions on those responsible for the violence: gang leaders and the political and economic elites who support them. Use this form to urge your Senators to support the bill!

If your Senator is one of the co-sponsors listed HERE, we ask that you instead send a thank-you message.

Women's History Month: Artist Corner

A self-identified "artivist," Dulce María López González was born and raised in Jalisco, México. She and her family migrated to California when she was 11 years old. She utilizes acrylics, screen printing, and water color to explore inequity, racism, sexism, and immigration. She believes in the power of art as a form of communication to spark social change, drawing inspiration from the Mexican muralist wave of the 1920s and Latin America's screen printing artivism.
