Sanctuary Print Shop is a mobile print shop that aims to raise awareness about recently enacted immigration policies and how they impact our communities by creating and distributing powerful messages in support of immigrants’ rights. Through community silkscreen workshops (taught via their mobile tricycle silkscreen cart), and other participatory activities, the project educates participants on the history of the sanctuary ordinance within San Francisco, and serves as a resource center and catalyst for public engagement in the movement to uphold immigrants’ rights.
