Día de Muertas

Join us for Día de Muertas on November 1st! 🌺🕯️

For the seventh year in a row, Undocumented Women’s Fund invites you to our Día de Muertas, a feminist and immigrant justice take on Día de Muertos. 

Día de Muertos is a traditional holiday that warmly welcomes back the souls of departed loved ones. Families illuminate cemeteries and build colorful ofrendas laden with bright cempasúchil marigolds, candlelight, favorite dishes, and sugar skulls. Rather than a time of mourning, it is a spirited celebration of remembrance, affirming that love and memory endure beyond death. Hence, Día de Muertas is our yearly event to honor and celebrate the lives of women, children, and gender-expansive people we have lost at the hands of a murderous immigration system, whether on their journey north, in detention, or after deportation. 

There will be flowers, music, art making, food and learning about our traditions!
