Línea Pak
A project by Tanya Aguiñiga in collaboration with AMBOS as part of the 2021 program, Intergalactix: against isolation/contra el aislamiento.

You can now watch video of Tanya Aguiñiga’s project, Línea Pak!

Sign the petition to improve border access for elderly and disabled migrants here. 

On November 13, Tanya Aguiñiga and the AMBOS project distributed 500 emergency “Línea Pak” kits along the San Ysidro Gate, within the US/Mexico Border. Línea Pak is an emergency kit that contains a portable unisex urinal, saladitos (salty plums eaten to stay hydrated), granola bars, water, electrolytes, and a petition to the US government. The waiting time to cross into the United States from Tijuana, Mexico averages between 4 and 8 hours, which only worsened during the pandemic as border officials closed lanes “to control” COVID-19. Línea Pak, is a response to the violence created by these racist systems in place that dehumanize people through long processes of surveillance, inspection, approval, systematization, profiling, and data collection implemented by the US Border Patrol. Línea Pak, recuperates a relationship based on mutual aid by providing basic needs to border-crossing communities.

Unete a la causa, firma la petición para crear una fila para ancianxs y discapacitadxs que cruzan la frontera EU/Mexico, aquí.

El 13 de noviembre, Tanya Aguiñiga y AMBOS project distribuyeron 500 paquetes de emergencia llamados “Línea Pak” en el garita de San Ysidro de la frontera EUA/México. Línea PAK es un kit de primeros auxillos que contiene un urinario portátil unisex, saladitos, barras de granola, agua y una petición al gobierno Estadounidense. La fila de espera para cruzar a los EUA desde Tijuana, México, tiene un promedio de 4 a 8 horas, el cual empeoró durante la pandemia cuando los agentes fronterizos cerrarán carriles “para controlar” COVID-19. Línea Pak es una respuesta a la violencia creada por estos sistemas racistas vigentes que deshumanizan a las personas a través de largos procesos de vigilancia, inspección, aprobación, sistematización, elaboración de perfiles y procedimientos de recolección de datos implementados por la patrulla fronteriza estadounidense. Línea Pak recupera una relación basada en la ayuda mutua proveyendo de necesidades básicas  a las comunidades que cruzan la frontera.
