Stand for those being denied liberty!
On a quiet side street right behind the Burlington Mall, immigrants are placed together in cells inside a featureless office building with no sign out front. Originally an administrative building, people are now detained here, sometimes for days, and sleep on a cold floor under Mylar blankets. There is one toilet per cell, under the watchful eye of a camera. There are no showers, no handwashing sinks in the cells, no windows, no soap, no food service facility, no menstrual products for women, no outdoor time, and no visitors.
Join us in supporting FixICE.org to protest, bear witness, and support immigrants at the ICE detention center.
Bring any non-perishable food items to be distributed to immigrant families on site.
The event will include music, a guest speaker, and a time for community members to share their personal stories and reasons for showing up.
Bring your revolutionary spirit and show immigrants we support them!!
