Border Crossing Puppet Show
June 17 @ 7 p.m.
William Byrd Community House
224 South Cherry St.
Richmond, VA 23220
In April, two Virginia activists walked three days south crossing the Arizona desert into Mexico. They walked in solidarity with the countless number of people who traverse the dangerous terrain in search of better lives in the U.S., to protest unjust anti-immigrant policies in Virginia and the millions of dollars annually spent on border militarization.
Jeff Winder and Sue Frankel-Streit of The People United! will report back on their experience with a puppet show. They will also promote the Fifth Annual Gathering of The People United \”Taking Root: Building Community, Sustaining Resistance\” to be held the weekend of June 27 in the mountains of central VA. All are welcome to come. This is a kid-friendly event.
