Day 176
“One time, when a boy approached the fence to talk to a girl, the guard screamed at him, “the next time you will have a problem.“ The guard grabbed the boy by the back of the neck and dragged him away. We have never seen this boy again.”

Project Amplify is a crowd-driven project to raise awareness of the conditions of child detention camps on the U.S. border through arts, music, & media. They truly believe that if the American public understands the scope & severity of the conditions we can create change.
My name is Amanda and I’ve been painting a quote from a person detained at the border every day since July 18th, 2019. I’m a regular person who was sick of doing nothing about kids in cages. If that’s you, join me.
