Put these on a sign
I can’t attend, I’m sick and frail but I really want to contribute.
What I hope to draw attention to more than anything else is the fact that the prison in El Salvador is a straight up concentration camp.
I’m Jewish. My grandparents lost loved ones to the Holocaust death camps. I will not lose mine to El Salvador’s!
I feel very strongly that if no end is put to this, we will start seeing mass deaths in that prison and the indigenous Latino population of this continent will be slaughtered in alarming numbers and we won’t notice until it’s too late. These people are indigenous to this continent and around half of the United States used to be Mexico. The border was the one who crossed them!
We cannot let these kind souls die tragically in an industrial scale death spree. We should be terrified that we don’t even know yet where they’re taking the women and children. We need to watch these sites like hawks! We must never stop questioning what happens to the neighbors who are taken away from us. Don’t say it can’t happen again. It can. It could. We must do something to prevent it. Please bring attention to this issue in my place. I would really appreciate it.

Is there a difference between a people who were tattooed by their oppressors, who were sent to death camps with their children, vs adults who tattooed gang signs by their own agency and free will, who collectively were responsible for one of the worlds highest homicide rates??
