Members of Never Again Action ATX, including Artist Itai Almor and local organizer Alicia Torres, will facilitate a community teach-in about migrants and security at Texas's Southern border. They will pull back the veil on the Texas state government's efforts to create panic about undocumented migrants, presenting facts, uplifting human accounts and pointing to the true crises we are suffering as a state. Learn about the inner workings of an unprecedented investment in border militarization, surveillance of communities and state violence called Operation Lonestar, and what it's costing all Texans. Conversation will be guided and illustrated by art created by Itai Almor, supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department.
The teach in will orient around questions such as:
- Is there a border crisis?
- Is border security really making you safer?
- What’s the real cost of Operation Lonestar?
We’ll also share facts about what's happening at and near the Texas border, who's arriving there, how, and why, what used to happen to migrants like them, and what's happening to them now. Expect to unpack the myths you may have heard about migrants.
Accessibility:
The Museum of Human Achievement is an ADA Accessible space. We will strive to meet the accessibility needs of all our attendees. Families are welcome! A childcare area will be provided with supervision for young children and simple activities for them. ASL and real-time Spanish interpretation will be provided.
Light snacks and refreshments will also be provided.
RSVP is required. We will ask for an email or phone number for reminder purposes only. Your contact information will not be retained or used in any other way without your consent.
Detalles (Español)
Miembros de Never Again Action ATX, entre ellos el artista Itai Almor y la organizadora local Alicia Torres, facilitarán una charla comunitaria sobre los migrantes y la seguridad en la frontera de Texas. Desvelarán los esfuerzos del gobierno estatal de Texas por crear pánico sobre los migrantes indocumentados, presentarán hechos, contarán historias humanas y hablarán de las verdaderas crisis que estamos sufriendo. Aprendan sobre como funciona la inversión sin precedentes de la militarización de la frontera, la vigilancia de las comunidades y la violencia estatal llamada Operación Lonestar, y lo que le está costando a todos los tejanos. La conversación estará guiada e ilustrada por el arte creado por Itai Almor, con el apoyo en parte del Departamento de Desarrollo Económico de la Ciudad de Austin.
La charla se centrará en preguntas como:
- ¿Hay una crisis en la frontera?
- ¿La seguridad fronteriza realmente te hace más seguro?
- ¿Qué es el costo real de la Operación Lonestar?
También compartiremos datos sobre lo que está sucediendo en la frontera de Texas y sus alrededores, quiénes llegan allí, cómo y por qué llegan, lo qué solía pasar a los migrantes y qué les está pasando ahora. Espere desmitificar los mitos que puedes haber escuchado sobre los migrantes.
Accesibilidad:
El MoHA es un espacio accesible para personas con discapacidades. Nos esforzaremos por satisfacer las necesidades de accesibilidad de todos nuestros asistentes. ¡Las familias son bienvenidas! Se proporcionará una guardería de niños pequeños con actividades sencillas para ellos. Se proporcionará interpretación en español y en lenguaje de señas en tiempo real.
