The Mexican Prickly Poppy stands as a symbol of strength across various cultures. Indigenous rituals and folklore celebrate its ability to flourish in harsh conditions, mirroring the resilience of the human spirit.

But, that also means people need to be proactive and take a stand against the negative policies of the Trump administration. Find a way!
