Our goal is to fold 1,000 cranes to send to Texas as a show of solidarity with the thousands of families separated and unjustly incarcerated. Bring your family and friends!
On March 30th, Japanese Peruvian and Japanese American incarceration survivors and allies will be staging a peaceful protest at the South Texas Family Residential Center where some two thousand Central American women and children seeking lawful asylum are being confined. The Crystal City Pilgrimage Committee and local community organizations will hang 10,000 origami cranes on the fences surrounding the family detention center in Dilley, Texas to protest family separation, mass incarceration, and the Muslim Travel Ban.
No prior origami skills are necessary. Supplies and instructions will be provided.
