Over 1,000 people are detained in shameful conditions in the Everglades, in a camp disgracefully nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz.” This site is hidden from public view, legal access is blocked, and human dignity is ignored.
Uplift immigrant, indigenous, and free voices to shut down the invasive authoritarian desecration of the Everglades.
