Artist: Strive One, Mex, and Mode
We where painting live at the independence Border festival and we where asked to alter there painting or tear it down due to a major sponsor compliant. Customs and border portection, where furious there booth was right in front.
This happen sunday july 1st 2018 in san ysidro, at larsen field. We where protesting the immigration policys of the current administration, with a green jacket with the statement "we do care"
we where not able to finish it. But the seed was planted. People where amazed and supportive, the event officials did not notice till about an hour later so a good portion of the crowd saw our mural. Hopefully this sheds light on the immigrant children sleeping in detainment centers. I (Strive One)started with the statue of liberty as to not raise concern and Mex continued with the flag. Mode drew the child in a cage very quickly then put on his jacket. It was thrilling as the crowd stopped and looked.This is one to remember.
