Following the launch at San Quentin, our next stop was at Yuba County Jail where we gathered directly outside the facility. Several testimonies were shared by impacted individuals including ones of those who were detained inside that very building or had family members inside.

Call Assemblyman Salas and Senator Hurtado and ask them to pass the VISION Act now. https://t.co/nuHAdJ424H

Those being detained inside Mesa Verde Detention Center have gone 2 full years now without being able to see their loved ones. There are ways for ICE to safely reinstate visitation and they must do just that.

@4humanintegrity proudly backs #AB937. Youth and families are negatively impacted by ICE transfers. We urge Sen @Portantino @BenAllenCA @DaveCortese @SenSusanEggman @Steve_Glazer to ensure no one else has to endure what the youth have experienced. and pass the #VISIONAct

Take action now: send an email to Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas to demand a fair process for detainees at Pulaski Detention Center and narrow enforcement priorities nationwide.

Last year, immigrants sued over dangerous conditions in detention centers across the state and won. Thousands were reunited with loved ones.

We must commit to letting those released during COVID remain free. Take action to end the detention machine now. https://t.co/sOmk4cEEmX

Folks at YCJ are CURRENTLY sick with COVID-19 so there is great urgency in messaging getting out and if you’re feeling helpless watching the news, here is a call to action that we can all engage in now.
