REMINDER: Tonight's the night! Join @afsc_org, @HJL_Atlanta and The People's Campaign to #StopCopCity for a special screening of "From Grief to Action: Justice for Cornelius Taylor"—this evening at the Plaza Theatre.
Another week, another Circle of Protection in Miramar. ✊🏽
Every Wednesday we stand with immigrant families facing ICE check-ins, detention, and uncertainty. We bring water, food, legal resources, and solidarity, reminding people they are not alone.
“Alligator Alcatraz” is fueled by 287(g) agreements that turn local police into ICE agents.
Mayor Eileen Higgins promised to end 287(g), but has taken no action.
Immigrant families deserve dignity, not detention. @CityofMiami#End287g

Pres. Trump's threat to wipe out Iran's "whole civilization" is genocidal. Thousands of civilians have been killed in Iran and the region. The U.S. is already carrying out war crimes���and now it is threatening to commit more.
This must stop. Tell Congress: End this war now.

The state has opened two geriatric prison facilities, one in #FayetteCounty and one in #PleasantsCounty, to provide aging inmates with specialized care for dementia and living assistance.
ICE does not belong in our communities.
We will defend our communities in Minneapolis and across the country in our struggle for peace and justice.
#AbolishICE
