Punta Mita Mural Project<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once upon our time there was \u00a0a street art shaman…after a bit of finagling with the local authorities and a bit of fundraising a mural was born in Punta de Mita in 2012.<\/p>\n

It takes a village, including shaking down (with a smile), the local painters and residents to help prime the walls.<\/p>\n

Punta Mita Postcards #FamiliesBelongTogether<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Kids<\/a>As a US expat living in a tiny village in Mexico, watching immigrant families being separated after crossing the US-Mexico border in the Spring of 2018 and put into detention facilities along with the international protests planned in June, I felt we needed an action plan in Punta de Mita that would make a difference. I connected with immigration lawyers, mostly working pro-bono who were allowed to go into the “facilites” to consult with the now separated families who were isolated from the world. Can we write to these kids? Yes. Never underestimate the power of the Punta de Mita community, over 500 handwritten postcards were delivered. Eternal gratitude to PEACE for loaning us chairs and shade, the travelers who mailed out the postcards from the US, and every single person that participated with their humanity, compassion and love. Not all heroes wear capes.<\/p>\n
