Portraits for Mobilize the Immigrant Vote

Here are some portraits I painted for "Mobilize the Immigrant vote". These portraits were commissioned for voting campaigns online and in print to educate people about propositions to vote for or against. The folks in these portraits are working activists and/or parents or kids of activists who not only want to share their experience but want to win more protection, equal rights, and justice for their families and loved ones. And with the current election results you can understand why.

We Too Belong-Poster Illustration

Had the pleasure of working on this poster recently for the UC Berkeley Haas institute for a fair and inclusive society. This illustration will be part of a resource guide of inclusive practices in immigration and incarceration law policy. I created the illustrations for the poster and it was designed for an event happening at the end of this month called "We Too Belong: Building Power at the Intersection of Immigration and Incarceration". It is a half day workshop/ talk about best practices to help include both immigrants and formerly incarcerated folks in the conversation about law, advocacy, the prison industrial complex, and policy. If you're in the Berkeley area on April 26th, please go check it out at 5pm in the David Brower Center. The event will host some guest speakers involved in political organizing, education, law, and social justice work.  Shout out to Rachelle for bringing me on the project. Tickets

Here are some sketches of the individual people in the poster who are leaders and activists!
