50 USD for this 5 inch hoop. All proceeds go directly to a young embroidery artist living on the US/Mexico border to get her hoops, fabric, needles, and lots of floss. She escaped intense violence in her home country due to her gender and indigenous ethnicity, and now she and her mom are forced to wait in an incredibly dangerous city for at least the next 5 months until their next court hearing, living and surviving on the kindness of others - “others” does not include either the US or Mexican governments. 🦈 🦷 🦈 🦷 🦈 🦷 🦈 🦷 🦈 🦷 50 USD para este aro de 5 pulgadas. Todos los ingresos van directamente a una jovencita artista de bordado que se queda en la frontera entre EEUU y México para obtener sus aros, telas, agujas y mucha seda. Ella escapó de la violencia intensa en su país de origen debido a su género y etnia indígena, y ahora ella y su mamá se ven obligadas a esperar en una ciudad increíblemente peligrosa durante al menos los próximos 5 meses hasta su próxima audiencia en la corte, viviendo y sobreviviendo gracias a la amabilidad de otros - "otros" no incluye a los gobiernos de los EEUU o México.

For sale on Instagram only! 50 USD plus shipping for 6 inch piece. I was lucky enough to go to the US/Mexico border a couple weeks ago to accompany immigration attorneys with asylum applications. While we were at the border, our team worked with a young woman who fled her country after standing up to an oppressive government, fighting for freedom, and refusing to obey orders not to treat injured protesters. On her journey to the United States to seek asylum, she was r***d and robbed in Mexico. Due to the Trump Administration’s “Remain in Mexico” policy, she is now forced to stay alone in an encampment with no security or protections in the country where she was brutally assaulted to await her court hearing. Under these conditions, she is incredibly vulnerable to being assaulted again. Proceeds for this sale will go directly to get her into a safer place. 🦋 🧳 🦋 🚶‍♀️ 🦋 🧳 🦋 ¡En venta! 50 USD más gastos de envío. Tuve la suerte de ir a la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México hace una semanas para acompañar a los abogados de inmigración con las solicitudes de asilo. Mientras estábamos en la frontera, nuestro equipo trabajó con una joven que huyó de su país después de enfrentarse a un gobierno opresivo, luchar por la libertad y negarse a obedecer las órdenes de no tratar a los manifestantes heridos. En su viaje a los Estados Unidos para buscar asilo, fue violada y robada en México. Debido a la política de la Administración Trump de "Permanecer en México", ahora se ve obligada a quedarse sola en un campamento sin seguridad ni protección en el país donde fue brutalmente agredida para esperar su audiencia en la corte. En estas condiciones, ella es increíblemente vulnerable a ser asaltada nuevamente. Las ganancias de esta venta irán directamente a llevarla a un lugar más seguro.
