Clay Visions Fundraiser With Live Demos and Know Your Rights Talk

A Community Fundraiser Workshop for Immigrant Justice

A collaboration between Mission Action and Artillery A.G. + Ceramics

Clay Visions & Know Your Rights is a community-centered fundraiser that brings together creativity, education, and collective care. 

Hosted in collaboration with Mission Action, this gathering supports the Deportation Defense & Legal Advocacy Program (DDLAP) while inviting participants to reflect on their hopes, wishes, and visions for our Mission District community.

Through clay, conversation, and shared intention, we create space to ground ourselves, learn our rights tp protect each other, and make offerings for a future rooted in dignity, safety, and belonging.

All ticket proceeds directly benefit Mission Action’s Deportation Defense & Legal Advocacy Program, which provides critical legal support to immigrant families facing deportation and detention.

This event is connected to The Living Altars by Ivan Lopez , a Mission District public art project that invites neighbors to set down wishes, intentions, and visions for our community through a shared ritual and creative offering.

During this workshop, participants will be introduced to the Living Altars project and invited to create a ceramic ofrenda (offering)—a small vision board in clay—representing what they wish for the community: such as protection, justice, healing, safety,  belonging. The wishes are endless and unique to you. 

Participants are encouraged to:

• Name a wish or intention for the Mission District and our immigrant community. 
• Hold that wish while creating their clay offering
• Continue the practice by visiting the Living Altars installed throughout the Mission and setting their intention down in shared journals at each site

In this way, the gathering becomes part of a larger, ongoing collective vision carried across the neighborhood.

Mission Action welcomes attendees and shares a brief overview of the Deportation Defense & Legal Advocacy Program (DDLAP) and how this event supports immigrant families in crisis.

Artillery A.G. introduces the Living Altars project and frames the evening as a shared act of intention-setting and community care.

A hands-on ceramic experience guided by Artillery A.G. + Ceramics.

Participants will create one ceramic piece—an vision board ofrenda (offering)—reflecting what they wish to protect or grow in the community.

Artillery A.G. provides:

• All clay, tools, and materials
• Step-by-step instruction
• Guidance on how to share or place offerings as part of the Living Altars practice

This portion centers grounding, creativity, and collective reflection.

A brief, accessible Know Your Rights session led by a Mission Action staff member, covering:
