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

Hip hip hooray, it's our 109th birthday! Check out AFSC's 109 year history from our inception in 1917 as a way to conscientiously object to WWI to our modern day work to build a more just, peaceful world. https://t.co/aKFi0suT2Q

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.

#WestVirginia's prison population has ballooned over the past decade and now, between 30% and 35% of people incarcerated are 55 or older.

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.

Supported by @afsc_org WV, speakers underscored the ongoing crisis in West Virginia jails, the ineffectiveness of enhanced penalties, as well as to encourage the legislature to reduce the prison population.
