Support Juntos as they celebrate a year of victories fighting for immigrant rights in our city. In the last year, they fought to expand Philadelphia’s status as a sanctuary city, partnered with local campaigns to fight against the prison industrial complex, and highlighted local human rights abuses as part of a local effort to close local detention centers Berks Family Detention Center and York County Prison.
In order to prepare for the upcoming lucha en 2019, they will be hosting an art show and fundraiser at Tattooed Mom! Local artists have donated work to raise funds for Juntos’ cause, and they will also be vending limited Juntos merchandise along with raffle tickets to a limited edition papel picado by resident Juntos artist, Erika Guadalupe Nunez. Ademas, Tattooed Moms is donating a percentage of all sales during the event as well!
