Everyday on her way to work, Dream Team LA member Nancy Meza is reminded of what she fights for. Her commute on the Metro Gold Line from East LA to Downtown, one that is historically connected by the LA River, takes her pass the Metropolitan Detention Center. Through the windows of the train, she can see immigrants being held at the detention center, through their cells. Seeing their hands and faces as she goes to and from work remind her of why she fights for immigrants rights and against laws that criminalize the immigrant community. The video was produced by Dreamers Adrift.
