For those who might be interested, I created a Storify with a compilation of tweets/commentary from those attending the vigil and people offering support and solidarity. It is my hope that this vigil will bring more visibility to the specific plight of undocumented people in Ireland and those in the European Union. Undocumented migrants across all the EU are invisibilized and, as I’ve written before, usually removed from public discourses around immigration. This vigil in Dublin is such an important initiative because, to the best of my knowledge, it is one of the first ones of its kind to openly bring the issue to light and seek justice in the form of regularization of migration status.
I will update the Storify throughout the day with additional commentary and photos.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
