End of an era today--the refugee squat where I and fellow volunteers have been organizing weekly children's activities since March 23, 2016, was evicted this morning. Thinking of all the children who will be marked "absent" at school this morning. (photo credit: John Psaropoulos)

"Where will I stake a home?
(You have a tent for now)
Or at least a small shack
(Along with four other families)
And here I will raise a family
(Don’t let them take your daughter)"

Today, solidarity is on trial.
#CarolaRackete will be questioned in court at 15:30, in Agrigento.
Being dragged through the courts for saving lives is absurd and outrageous.
We stand with #Carola and the #SeaWatch3 crew
#IoStoConCarola
Dalla stessa banchina dove due notti fa è arrivata con la #SeaWatch3, #Carola sta ora per partire diretta ad Agrigento, accompagnata da una motovedetta della Gdf.
Alle 15.30 interrogatorio in Tribunale.
Siamo con lei.

From @ae_stallings "Women from Afghanistan, Iran, and Tajikistan made collages and poems in our poetry class at the Melissa Network on Tuesday. 'Our childhood is the shadow of the future,' is one of the lines here." (📸: J. Psaropoulos) #melissanetwork #refugeewomen #arttherapy
