Join the Rochester Committee on Latin American (ROCLA) and Latin American Solidarity Committee of the WNY Peace Center (LASCwny) tonight for: #WitnessAtTheBorder featuring Joshua Rubin.
Joshua Rubin, a software developer from Brooklyn, New York, is a member of the leadership team for Witness at the Border. He was a witness at the Tornillo, Texas influx detention facility for migrant children, and at a similar shelter in Homestead, Florida. These facilities held over 3,000 children at their peak; both no longer do. Rubin led the Witness project on the ground in Brownsville/Matamoros in early 2020, and leads the Biden-era child detention Witness project.
