Free Livio (A77023995)!
To whom it may concern,
Livio Arias Torres is our beloved community Artist-Activist in Chelsea.. Twelve years ago, Livio came to the U.S. from Venezuela and applied for political asylum in 2011; however, an incompetent lawyer messed up Lívio’s application.
Despite all this, Livio continues to give: teaching music classes to children and adults, directing Iglesia San Lucas’s choir, and volunteering in many organizations: Casa de la Cultura, Enlazando Fronteras, Roca, etc.
Now Livio, a 70-year old music teacher, has been detained at South Bay Detention Ctr. since September 2012!
Let Livio free to teach to our youth, create art
& better our community now!
