In detention centers across California, hundreds of immigrants,
fearing for their lives, are begging to be released before COVID-19
sweeps through. Never Again Bay Area understands the extreme urgency of
this situation: we must release all detainees and close these
concentration camps before they become death camps. We need to bring
attention to this NOW so Governor Newsom uses his emergency powers and
influence to get everyone out of ICE detention before it’s too late.
It’s only a matter of time before someone working at the detention
center exposes everyone inside.
Tomorrow, we are holding a COVID-safe car-only rally;
a rally at the ICE office and Civic Center Plaza to call on public
officials to protect immigrants from this virus, for their own safety
and for public health.We will be driving slowly and repeatedly around
the block with signs in our windows while we honk our horns. We need as
many people as possible to show up and demand the governor makes the
right choice.
WHAT: A car rally to call for the end of immigrant
detention – we will be driving slowly and repeatedly around the block
with signs in our windows while we honk our horns
WHEN TO MEET: Tuesday, March 31 @ 11:30 AM.
