"On July 4th, during a protest at the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Tx Maricela Rueda was arrested for speaking out against the injustices of the immigrant detention system. She is currently incarcerated for taking a courageous stand in defense of dignity and justice. Maricela has always been a tireless advocate for human rights. Maricela is a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a loyal friend. Her arrest has left her family facing sudden and overwhelming challenges. Maricela’s young daughter is now without her mother’s daily love and care, and her family must also manage her estate and responsibilities while navigating the uncertainty ahead. We are asking for your support to help ease the financial strain during this heartbreaking time. All funds will go directly toward caring for her daughter and managing the urgent needs of her household."
