We’re super excited to share our new shirts with you, created in partnership with Asian Prisoner Support Committee!We need your support to reunite four Cambodian deportees with their families and community. If we’re able to stop people from getting deported, we can also bring them back home!We’re raising $3,000 to pay for Kay Kay, China, Tone and Chantha’s legal defense. 100% of shirt proceeds go to APSC, who are working to reunite them! Kay Kay, China, Tone, and Chantha came to the US as refugee children fleeing from the US-backed genocide in Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge. Now, ICE has ripped apart their families because their status as formerly-incarcerated refugees made them targets for deportation. Kay Kay, China, Tone and Chantha’s families were resettled by the US government in heavily-policed and under-resourced neighborhoods in California. As youths in the 1990s, they committed crimes during an era of “tough on crime” laws that drove mass incarceration to new heights.Kay Kay, China, Tone and Chantha rebuilt their lives after being released. Now they are struggling to survive after being deported to Cambodia, a country they do not know. 80% of all deportation orders for Southeast Asian Americans are based on old criminal records that have already been served. These Cambodian refugees escaped one of the worst genocides of the 20th century to seek safety in the US, only to be deported and separated from their families.Get a shirt to help reunite Kay Kay, China, Tone and Chantha’s families! Our shirt design is by Raychelle Duazo, a queer femme Filipina-American illustrator and tattoo artist from the Pacific Northwest. See more of Raychelle’s work @bombchelle. -- source link
