18 Mar The National Immigrant Solidarity Rally is just 2 weeks away
This is a time to come together. Gather your friends and family, your neighbors, your fellow students, your workplace colleagues, your PTAs, your church/mosque/synagogue and community groups and plan a screening of BORDERLAND together. It’s free to all March 29 – March 31 leading up to the National Immigrant Solidarity Rally on Monday, March 31st from 7-9pm ET.
The level of fear is high, and fear is what they want. But we won’t let fear do its work.
As constitutionally protected freedoms are being attacked at Columbia University, the digital humanists of the xpMethod based there–as seen in BORDERLAND–expose the vast border industrial complex and those profiting from the suffering of immigrants detained, incarcerated, deported and separated from their family members. The digital humanists predicted this moment. And as the militarization of the southern border is scaling up, immigrant communities from the Border Network for Human Rights in Texas to the Movement of Immigrant Leaders in Pennsylvania, are networking, organizing, and building strength in the shadow of the border industrial complex.
Let’s support each other and come together for the National Immigrant Solidarity Rally meant to strengthen our resolve alongside the protagonists of BORDERLAND, as well as grassroots immigrant rights leaders, students, the digital humanists in academia, lawyers and civil society advocates.
