Today a major protesta is happening at the San Diego Tijuana border. I am unable to travel because of concerns for my health so I was feeling really down. However, somehow los ancestros intervened and were like" gurl turn that from upside down." I was invited to design a t-shirt for the children that would lead the march. I chose to draw a barrilete (a Guatemalan kite) twith a child's face in the center flying high in the sky. I also used the national birds of Honduras and El Salvador so that the people from Northern Triangle could be represented symbolically elevated in the air beyond the chain link fence which both symbolizes the chain link cages that families and children are being locked in and as well as serving as a visual echo of the border. I echo the tweet BLM shared..."The babies and the children are leading the #FreeOurFuture march. We do this for them. We fight every day for them." #AbolishICE#CHINGALAMIGRA #EndFamilySeparation #BlackLivesMatter
