Portland, Oregon
My name is Alexis, I am a student of social work and a volunteer with the Interfaith Movement for Immigrant Justice (IMIRJ) in Portland, OR. As someone who has spent time in sending communities in Latin America, along the US-Mexico border, and in immigrant communities in the US, I’ve seen how unjust policies all along the way have perpetuated the current immigration crisis. I am ashamed of the way our country treats immigrants, who form the backbone of our economy and are an integral part of our communities. I am participating in this fast to call attention to the devastating separation of families and communities as a result of deportations. They must stop while our very broken system is fixed.
NotOneMoreDeportation.com is a campaign made of individuals, organizations, artists, and allies to expose, confront, and overcome unjust immigration laws.
As the immigration debate continues, #Not1More enters the discussion from the place that touches people in concrete ways and can offer tangible relief. By collectively challenging unfair deportations and unjust policy through organizing, art, legislation, and action, we aim to reverse criminalization, build migrant power, and create immigration policies based on principles of inclusion.
