In a world that seeks to erase your existence, you are not invisible to us. To all those who proudly assert their identity during #chicanofest, and who continue to fight for a place in this world, we see you and we are with you. Our favorite photo from yesterday's events with the binational community in Guadalajara is the photo of Senator Karina Ruíz with el rapero chicano Sonik 4:20, up and coming rapera Luna Fortuna—she blew us away!—and drug addiction counselor and founder of Guanatos G.D.L.S.U.R. and Chicano Fest, Roberto Hernández. Thank you for you vision, hard work, and love, Robert, and to the senadora del migrante for traveling to Guadalajara to spend #5demayo with us!@karina_migrante@chicanxs_sin_fronteras @matt_sedillo @caminantasred @fm4pasolibre @coincide.iteso @suerteverde11 @sonik420_oficial @lunafortunamx Galo Canote

"We are not here because the government has a commitment to us. We are here because we need this for us."We are so grateful to have been invited to this electrifying convening of formerly incarcerated, immigration system-impacted, and prison reform activists. During the 3-day event organized by @theundergroundscholars and @incarcerationnations, actors from both the United States and Mexico convened in Mexico City to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the PESCER program, @cc_uacm's college-in-prison program. A prison that can convert itself into a classroom becomes a refuge—a place of resistance and imagination. The convening marked the need to rethink the modern prison system, and promote reentry service support in Mexico and the integration of deported people into higher education systems. Our hats off to Danny Murillo, Rick Zepeda, and Dr. Baz Dreisinger for your vision and love, and to all those who never lost hope.

While in Guatemala, we met with deported veteran, Sergio Andrade, whose family arrived in the United States at the start of the Guatemalan Civil War. He later enlisted in the U.S. Army and honorably served from 1977-1980. Like hundreds of other immigrant veterans who put their lives on the line for the American people, the United States not only failed to naturalize him but later dishonorably deported him to the country his family fled. Cast away in 2002, he has struggled to survive—witnessing or directly experiencing armed violence dozens of times. Now in his late 60s, his health is declining and he is far away from the physical and emotional support of his surviving family members and any VA facility. His harrowing story of courage and endurance is preserved as part of the digital archive of @deportedveteransdiasporamural in Tijuana and was first told by roaming activist and brother in arms @nick_paz in 2022. After hearing Sergio's story in person, The Rhizome Center for Migrants is committed to ensuring he receives the benefits he earned as a veteran of the United States, and his safe passage back to his family and country.No #veteran should ever be exiled from the United States.
