Currently I volunteer for Detention Resistance, an abolitionist grassroots collective that provides direct support to detained people and to shut down Otay Mesa Detention Center. Donate on Venmo @detentionresistance
Free Them All San Diego
Free Them All San Diego is a coalition of organizations and activists based in the San Diego-Tijuana region who are committed to affirming migration as a human right. To achieve this, we are building for a world without cages, border walls, armed enforcers, and institutions built upon a foundation of white supremacy. Our work starts with closing the Otay Mesa Detention Center and freeing them all.
Values/Vision
- We believe in the freedom of movement and that migration is a human right
- We stand in solidarity with all migrants, refugees, and those seeking asylum, without condition
- We struggle for abolition and for building a world without cages, borders, and armed enforcers
- We support the decolonization of all occupied lands
- We strive to build a democratic movement that is multi-racial, multi-ethnic, gender-inclusive, disability-inclusive, and welcoming of all faiths
- We center the liberation of the oppressed in all aspects of our organizing
