#CloseTheCamps Freeway Protest
July 2, 2019 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Children denied soap and toothbrushes, crowded into unsafe conditions. Separated from their families, subject to cruel treatment that leads to lasting traumas. And some dying in custody—or dying with parents as they cross the Rio Grande.
These conditions aren’t an accident. They are the byproduct of an intentional strategy by the Trump administration to terrorize immigrant communities and criminalize immigration.
We’re going to present a simple message over the freeway for an hour: ASYLUM IS LEGAL / NO KIDS IN CAGES.
This event is in response to MoveOn’s day of actions on 7/2 but we are doing something a little different than visiting our senator’s offices, so it is not on the national calendar.
