Compassion Has No Walls: Mend the Past, Transform the Future
July 12, 2019
Rally in front of the San Francisco ICE field office.
Native woman Kim DeOcampo from the Tuolumne and Yosemite Miwok, stands "in solidarity with our indigenous sisters and brothers from the southern hemisphere of Turtle Island... those who live on the other side of the manufactured border." “I am traumatized by the pain that my African and Native ancestors had to go through when our families were ripped apart by slavery, kidnapping, extermination policies, and enduring boarding schools that stole our children.” “No more stolen families. Sanctuary for our children. All life is sacred.”
From rally organizers: "We resist the detention of immigrant children in concentration camps, like what was done in the past to Jewish communities, indigenous communities, and Japanese and Japanese Americans during World War II. We stand with members of the Japanese American community who are calling for the closing of all detention centers: "Never Again Is Now.""
