Description: Part American-Indian Melissa's handwritten zine combines personal and political aspects: it describes the necessity of her activism for Mexican immigrants and against the oppressive forces at the Mexican-American border, but also details how she changed as a result of helping people wishing to make a better life in America. She criticizes the Minutemen and border patrol in their use of unnecessary violence, and discusses the physical and mental hardships that immigrants face when trying to walk to the border. The zine includes journal entries and photographs.
