We are so grateful for the advocates who participated in our first art project initiative and shared with us why they are involved in this work. We invited advocates to share a word that represents why they are engaged and working with immigrant children. Participants could share their word in any medium they wanted: a photo, drawing, painting, digital art, etc. This art project was inspired by a CILA workshop icebreaker where advocates shared in one word why they were involved.
We compiled submissions and wanted to share the visuals here. Participants shared with us words and images representing justice, welcome, empower, supportive, magic, hope, advocacy, matters, and love.
We are always inspired by the courage, competency, compassion, and creativity displayed by advocates working on behalf of immigrant children and youth. Thank you to everyone for their work, and again thank you to those who participated in CILA’s art project initiative.
