On May 4, 2018, the Chinatown Art Brigade collaborated with Asian American United’s Chinatown Youth Organizing Project (CYOP) to stage a projection in Philadelphia Chinatown that amplified resistance to ICE and Trump’s unjust immigration policies. Working in close partnership with The Illuminator, the projection included speeches, music and know your rights information for undocumented immigrants.
Join us on July 6th for our second Here to Stay projection event. The Chinatown Art Brigade will be collaborating with Asian Americans United and Viet Lead who will be hosting the National Grassroots Asians Risings’ Youth Summit in Philadelphia this summer. With support from the Asian Arts Initiative, The Chinatown Art Brigade and The Illuminator will be projecting a Know Your Rights PSA as well as messages from organizations across the country who demand an end to the increased threats of ICE deportations and attacks on our immigrant communities. CAB is will be celebrating stories of resistance and resilience, putting a human face on immigration and generating a nation-wide response to this urgent issue.
