The event, held at the Mission District bookstore Medicine for Nightmares, was co-sponsored by the National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Bay Area chapter, Global Exchange, Peninsula 360, Haiti Action Committee, and Caminante Cultural Foundation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Francisco Herrera from Caminante Cultural Foundation broke the ice by performing his song \u201cCaminando\u201d and making the audience sing along in English and Spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camilo Perez-Bustillo, director of the SF Bay Area chapter of the National Lawyers Guild and moderator of the event, started by recalling the fire at the detention center in Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, where 40 migrants, from six different countries, died.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to emphasize today that sadly what happened on March 27 in Juarez epitomizes what is unfolding at the border as we speak: prevention through detention,\u201d Perez Bustillo said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perez-Bustillo highlighted two recent cases of underage migrants who died in the past few days. <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/honduras-us-migrants-teenager-death-border-e3d316b3000400ad1bad90d2a7065b70\">\u00c1ngel Eduardo Maradiaga Espinoza<\/a>, a 17-year-old from Honduras, died in a shelter near Tampa, Florida, where his medical needs were identified and ignored, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/anadith-tanay-reyes-alvarez-migrant-child-died-border-custody-mother-requested-medical-aid-three-times\/\">Anadith Tanay Reyes \u00c1lvarez<\/a>, an 8-year-old born in Panama \u2014 whose family is from Honduras \u2014 died in border patrol custody in Harlingen, Texas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNobody leaves their country because they do not like it; they do it because they have no other option,\u201d said Mar\u00eda Christina Herrera, executive director of the Caminante Cultural Foundation. She explained to the audience the symbolism of a pair of shoes, a jacket, an empty plastic gallon of water with some drops left, and a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Christina then handed out candles and jointly we lit them up, sending them to every migrant that is now leaving their homes, and to the ones who have fallen. After a few seconds of silence, Francisco started playing his guitar and singing: \u201c<em>ya no vivo, pero voy, en lo que andaba so\u00f1ando, y otros que siguen peleando, har\u00e1n brotar nuevas rosas.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terry Valen from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wearemigrants.net\/\">International Migrant Alliance<\/a> (IMA) continued after the song, calling on everyone to act and to organize against one of the root causes of forced migration: neoliberal economic policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe border is not something distant from here, is not something exotic, or on another planet, it is inherently here in the Bay area,\u201d Valen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=900%2C1200&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An altar commemorating migrants was set up in the gallery of Medicine for Nightmares on May 23, during the event \u201cThe Border is Everywhere: Stop the Militarization of the Border, Defend Asylum and Migrant Lives.\u201d Photo: Mariana Navarrete\" class=\"wp-image-56365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?w=900&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=188%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=360%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=300%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=150%2C200&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_180951_web.jpg?resize=400%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">An altar commemorating migrants was set up in the gallery of Medicine for Nightmares on May 23, during the event \u201cThe Border is Everywhere: Stop the Militarization of the Border, Defend Asylum and Migrant Lives.\u201d Photo: Mariana Navarrete<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Valen explained airports are part of the systematic fortification of the border. He described how a Filipino human rights activist was detained and tortured at Customs and Border Protection of SFO. The activist, Jerome Aladdin Succor Aba, was held for 24 hours, and IMA was there protesting to make sure he was sent back safely to his homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This November, the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation is coming to San Francisco, and Valen invited everyone to join IMA\u2019s front against it at the Moscone center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCome out and join us against these neoliberal free trade policies that are devastating our homelands, workers all over the world, and the environment,\u201d Valen said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Chiapas Support Committee, who Carolina Dutton represented, was also at the event. The Committee provides solidarity to the Zapatistas, a political and militant group in Chiapas who rose up against the North American Trade Agreement in 1994, which deregulated tariffs and allowed corporations to buy land from indigenous communities to produce cheap exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the 26th of every month, the Committee stands in front of the Mexican consulate, with the demand for justice, not just for Chiapas but human rights throughout Mexico. On May 26, they passed around a letter asking for signatures, with the intention of presenting it to the Mexican consulate and to the Department of Homeland Security, demanding accountability and justice for the fire in Juarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Caseworker from Instituto Familiar de la Raza, Carlos Izaguirre, agreed on what Herrera said about migrants not having another option in their homelands because of the flooding crime and lack of opportunities for the most vulnerable and marginalized. Izaguirre stated we need to educate the privileged Latina\/o\/x community that think they don&#8217;t have to care about immigration policies because they have a regular immigration status here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEven seeing those tragedies [such as the fire in Juarez] as something that could prevent them from coming here, they are still going to try it,\u201d Izaguirre said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Izaguirre\u2019s voice started cracking when commenting about the fire in Juarez. In the back of the room, there was an altar set with monarch butterflies that had the names of the 40 migrants who died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wish I could be helping those names, making an intake, providing case management, or any other service, but it is not the case,\u201d Izaguirre said. \u201cWe are here instead remembering the fatalities they had to suffer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Global Exchange was present too with Ted Lewis. He recalled how in 1998, Global Exchange organized a \u2018parade\u2019 in San Jose, honoring the lives of lost migrants. To remember those migrants, the marchers held crosses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen you take a number and then actually put names to it and see the piles of crosses and the multiple vans we had to have for just carrying the crosses, you realize this is such a holocaust,\u201d Lewis reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Broder_184038_web.jpg?resize=1200%2C900&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Francisco Herrera plays his guitar during a candle-lit ceremony, commemorating migrants who have crossed the US-Mexico border.

In December 2022, they passed through every port of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border with the \u201cThe Journey for Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is U.S. foreign policies, military intervention, coups, support for authoritarian regimes, land and resource exploitation, neoliberal agenda, that is really forcing people to migrate in order to survive,\u201d Judith said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judith stressed that more deaths are inevitable as the U.S. implements a new anti-immigration policy that eliminates all legal avenues to asylum. Even though Title 42 is over, the government keeps creating tools of metering and exclusion, when instead they should provide asylum for anyone who arrives the border according to international law, no matter where or how or in what country, whether they cross legally or illegally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though the stories and commentary shared in the event were not precisely joyful, what all the leaders pointed out was that seeing all these people and organizations advocating for migrants gave strength and hope, which are indeed needed to continue fighting for justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt is important tonight that we open our hearts and we feel it directly from our guts,\u201d Maria Christina Herrera from Caminante Cultural Foundation said in her initial remarks when explaining the items on a table set symbolizing courage, suffering, love, family, and strength.
