Project Attica

At Project Attica, we have always denounced discriminatory, oppressive and offensive immigration policies that have been relied on to separate and detain countless families in inhuman conditions. That is why this year we decided to travel to the United States-Mexico border, to Ciudad Juarez, to share our workshops and plant some seeds of love in the community. Additionally, at this moment there is an unprecedented Immigration crisis where Central American families are not bei...ng allowed to cross the border and file their asylum claims. Instead, these families are staying in makeshift tents out in the open. The temperatures right now are very low and they need jackets, quilts, and winter clothes. If you have any of these items in your home please feel free to reach out to us so we can bring it to Juarez to distribute it with community leaders and with @LauraBustillosJaquez, a Documentary Filmmaker from the border, who has been our angel and guardian during this initiative to take Project Attica there. https://www.gofundme.com/f/project-attica-in-ciudad-juarez https://www.facebook.com/events/2644266232301405/ See more

As promised, here are some of the highlights of yesterday's healing and compassion artivist workshop where we engaged with the Latinx community of Corona, #Queens in mask giveaways and artivism tshirts with messages of #peace and #love. Some people might forget that this was the epicenter of #covid19 not too long ago. Coming back to work with our disproportionately impacted community was integral to our work. #community #empowerment #createart #spreadlove #queens #nyc #palante

It was a pleasure being a guest on the On The Count radio show talking about the importance of healing circles and restorative justice especially during a pandemic where many people are experiencing trauma, loss, and violence without effective mechanisms to heal and process those feelings. We know that communities of color are being disproportionately impacted by COVID19 so we must rise to the challenge and begin to build resiliency through restorative circles.

Join us this evening at 9:00 p.m to hear from our founder Anthony Posada who will be On the Count Radio talking about Restorative Justice and Healing during this pandemic. https://www.wbai.org/listen-live/
