Our Voices
In Response to ICE sanctioned separation of families
Summer of 2018
We stand in solidarity with our Indigenous Family Members and Community who are being unjustly, unlawfully, and immorally detained, denied legal representation, and deported. We support the abolition of ICE and call upon law and policy makers to right these wrongs. We are stunned and horrified by the ways in which United States officials have subverted the values they promise and profess to uphold.
The United States was founded on stolen land and build up with stolen labor. Everything we have here is thanks to a legacy of what black and brown bodies have had to sacrifice. The United States then, in order to continue supporting the habit of capitalist growth, exploited and profited from the wars it created by overthrowing democratically elected governments throughout the world. The United States Government is now choosing to intentionally bar community members that it has hurt in order to maintain that power and control.
At The UPRISE Collective, we believe in calling things what they are and using our privileges to amplify the voices of our community members.
We demand action from elected officials.
