As folks begin to mobilize around this, and there needs to be mobilization around this, please study and connect to the prison abolitionist work @prisonculture and others have been doing. This is both a carceral state issue and an immigration one. Organizing, like any creative endeavor, is a journey of finding your voice. It is intensely personal. It is a marathon not a sprint. It requires both being quiet and being loud. It is what this moment asks of us. Find your voice, and then lift it.
