Imagine for a moment...

(It’s not too hard,
you’ve probably heard similar stories about your own family)

You make the difficult decision to leave your home...

To travel to a country of opportunity...

To make a better life for your family...

1/
You arrive..

Work hard..

Start to settle in..

But this is where the story deviates from those you’ve heard.

Because you are detained.

Your children taken from you.

Caged.

Unsanitary conditions, inedible food.

2/
And then,
without proper consent,
because you do not understand, and consent means nothing,
you are sterilized.

This is the America we are living in.

No land of opportunity.

No beacon of hope.

No humanity.

This is not US.
This CANNOT be US.
