2018 Madres Sin Fronteiras' Community ID Drive
Madres Sin Fronteras (Mother Without Borders) is a social movement in the city of Gainesville, FL that fights for the human rights of all people. This organization is a local grassroots immigrant-led organization that works to protect the rights of immigrant families in our community and to ensure that all are treated with dignity and respect. Chispas joins them as they work to develop, educate, and empower our communities to protect and defend our families and ourselves.
At their ID drive, Chispas along with the Human Rights Coalition of Alachua County and Madres Sin Fronteras aided in providing identification for over 200 undocumented people in Alachua county. This is very important for the community because without identification, the Alachua sheriff department is required to take your prints and therefore expose your undocumented status. However, with a valid form of identification, undocumented families can take the speeding ticket, etc. without having to share their undocumented status.
