Queer & Femme ▲ Autonomous Border Resistance
Hecate Society is a QTPOC* centric, femme* & youth-led, art and media collective that aims to elevate the stories of immigrants and refugees traveling to the so-called United States while simultaneously engaging in mutual aid, community organizing and coalition building inside of refugee communities. Our intention is to support refugee-run autonomous spaces in border towns and communities with high concentrations of refugees and migrants by providing support around housing, food, media, and legal aid. We emphasize working with political refugees and refugee activists who are actively engaging in direct action against the government and organizing in their communities, whether it’s in detention, in Tijuana, in the US or back in their homelands. We support LGBTQ+ and vulnerable populations within the refugee community throughout their entire transition, pre, during and post detention processes in hopes that individuals can escape deathly situations and build powerful new movements within refugee communities that will fight against the US-funded pillars of injustice that are creating unlivable situations for millions of people.
Our biggest team is on the ground in Tijuana but we also have members of the collective currently working out of Chicago, Minneapolis, Oakland and Italy.
A signal boost for this event, by UEA Migrant Solidarity and the Womanist Society! They are hosting representatives from Movement for Justice for a workshop. Here’s their description: “On the 3rd of December 2016 students will join with asylum seekers, refugees and numerous other individuals and groups, to demand the closure of Yarls Wood detention centre and an end to the current regime of detention across the UK. [The UEA Student Union will provide transport for UEA students to this demo - stay tuned for details.] In the run up to the demo we will be joined by organisers Movement for Justice for a workshop exploring the efforts being made to resist and dismantle the detention system in the UK. We will discuss how these struggles intersect with, and encompass, movements in LGBT+ liberation and the post-brexit fight against anti-Muslim bigotry. All are welcome.“
Placard for tomorrow's demo outside the local branch of Byron Burgers, the scummy corp that called a fake meeting and then locked in their staff for the UKBA to pick up and deport. The quote is one I read somewhere and liked but cannot for the life of me now find a source for. If anyone knows its a quote that should be attributed please let me know!
i drew this poster for my friend’s event, proceeds to brighton migrant solidarity!
