Elevating the voices of America’s undocumented communities.

 

Our Mission

We believe that no person should be discriminated against because of his, her, or their lack of status. Our goal is to create a new level of opportunity for undocumented artists to amplify their voices. Through our community, we can build our own opportunities and break down barriers that many individuals face every day.

This platform is open to working with communities, schools, businesses, and larger institutions. We are eager to advocate through the creative forms that many undocumented artist posses. We can help advocate for the creation of nondiscriminatory policies centering on the undocumented community.

We believe that a human being must be free, both in spirit and society. A human should own his, her, or their own voice and be visible to express the vision of moving towards a just society. We believe in the arts’ ability to express this affirmation.

“You only are free when you realize you belong no place — you belong every place — no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great.”
— Maya Angelou
“When the world tells you to stay quiet, to hide, to be invisible—
Believe in the power of your own voice, even when they tell you to be a secret.
Don’t you ever be afraid to be successful.”

“Cuando el mundo te dice que te quedes callado, que te escondas, que seas invisible ...
Cree en el poder de tu propia voz, incluso cuando te digan que seas un secreto.
Nunca tengas miedo de tener éxito.”
