Day 11:

“Nobody takes care of us here. I try to take care of my little brother and sister since no one will take care of them…Some kids are only two or three years old and they have no one to take care of them.”

-K from Ecuador, 11, speaking of his 9 and 7 year old siblings

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. Their belief is the American public understands the scope & severity of the conditions we can create change. Please follow and share their work; Project Amplify, Twitter, and Instagram.

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 / #nomorechildrenincages
