Voice of Art - Migration Is Beautiful, Pt. 3

Favianna Rodriguez and crew join the fearless riders of the Undocubus as they arrive in Charlotte, NC -- while the media spotlight shines on the 2012 Democratic National Convention. Artist Julio Salgado explains why the Undocubus activists are there to protest. Later, as the city sleeps, Favianna and a team of artists hit the streets on a clandestine postering mission. As the Undocubus riders plan a direct action protest, artist César Maxit explains the butterfly art he has created to help them express their messages. Favianna, Rosario Dawson and a large crowd join Undocubus riders as they stage their dramatic sit-in street blockade designed to send a message to the President before he accepts his nomination for a 2nd term.

It's such an amazing video! :D I can't get enough!

[@RazeOfficial]

Congrats Favianna...!

[@swishablowa420]

thanks for the comment

Because for every End this is an infinite number of Means, and while championing an End is noble, unless you advocate a specific Mean to accomplish that End, you're really just whistling into the wind.

[@RythemNTheRain]

Great!

[@serenitysedai]

This is great. So great. So glad seeing VoA take this art movement on, i know of most of these artists and love them. Im looking at a poster from the Undocunation event and an original Melanie Cervantes screen print right now. Love love love. Migration is natural. Tear down the walls. Decolonize everything. Sidenote: I always wondered how Rosario Dawson ended up holding that banner.

[@joebazooks]

Why can't it be that simple?

[@MichaelManners101]

So well done and important...great work!

[@pinchecapitalismodem]

i think it goes beyond "humane immigration policy" they touched on very beautiful concepts like: migration is natural, borders are lies and imposed, love, art, liberation, family, a better world, justice, human/civil rights, music, healing, solidarity, struggle, organizing etc and etc... i am sad that this seems vague some people, there is a world outside capitalism.

[@Soul4eva1]

Thank you Favianna!!! I will twitter you!!!

[@TheKolaNut]

I agree to an extent. Alot of those jobs were what high school and college aged students did. When I was younger, everybody mowed their own lawns (or payed neighborhood kids for it). Then the neighborhoods started contracting "landscaping companies" and people stopped mowing their lawns all together (reduction of lawn mower/lawn supply sales, etc). People may think they're too good for factory jobs, but ALOT of people don't (factory jobs are still liked by many Americans today).

yall only get rignts if you live here legallay

[@mailejohn5296]

Im glad this video is calling the immigration issue what it is, racist! This whole country was founded on illegal immigration yet for some reason there are certain ethnic groups being singled out and they dont get a pardon. My husband is from New Zealand and he was undocumented the whole time we were dating. No one ever gave him flack for his undocumented status because we was white. In fact he was in amazing demand because he is such a hard worker (like many other illegal immigrants).

[@JenneVazquez3]

oh my goodness what happened to them? dont think i liked the ending where they were arrested and taken away. so beautiful that rosario dawson was present and supported the movement

[@blueakimoto]

By the way, Immigrants take jobs that most people tend to think "they're too good for" such as agricultural jobs, factories, construction, and landscaping.
