707 Quay Street, 7-9 P.M., Manitowoc
Join us to vigil and march in support of ending human concentration camps for those using our legal means of seeking asylum at the southern border. We’ll have speakers, songs, sidewalk chalking, bubbles to heaven to honor those who have died in custody and more! “Never Again Is Now!”
We are a coalition of people, many of whom are mothers, dedicated to human rights, and the fundamental principle behind democracy that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and dignity.
We are partnering with international, national, regional and local communities and organizations who believe that these fundamental rights are not negotiable and are willing to protect them.
On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps, will bring thousands of people to locations worldwide as well as to concentration camps across country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by migrants.
We will accept donations for families in need: non-perishable food items, soaps, shampoos, diapers, wipes, towels, and more to help these people in their life journey.
Protest Democratic Party Debates
The Democratic Party presidential candidates will be coming to Detroit for a debate where many issues facing poor and working people cannot be addressed in a meaningful way while the many U.S. wars abroad and at home go unchallenged.
There will be a rally, followed by a march to the Fox Theatre where we will demand:
STOP THE WARS AT HOME AND ABROAD!
MIGRANT RIGHTS NOW!
NO TO THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS!
END MASS INCARCERATION!
SYSTEM CHANGE NOT CLIMATE CHANGE!
HEALTH CARE FOR ALL!
FUND HUMAN NEEDS NOT WAR!
REPARATIONS NOW!
WATER, HOUSING, GOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS and a CLEAN ENVIRONMENT ARE HUMAN RIGHTS!

Close the Concentration Camps Coalition – Madison Rally & March
Coalition to Close the Concentration Camps
#CloseTheCamps #LetThemAllIn
[For accessibility notes, please scroll to the bottom of the text]
We will start our rally at 222 W Washington Ave at 6:30, where ICE had a field agent office last fall and may still have an agent, then begin marching at 7pm to Brittingham Park (1 mile) to join others in Madison for a Vigil against the camps.
The horrific abuses of the US government against migrants, travelers, and refugees has escalated, with children denied basic necessities, people over-stuffed into makeshift concentration camps, women abused and forced by US agents to drink out of toilets, and so much worse that we don’t yet know about.
The Coalition to Close the Concentration Camps is joining in national calls for a day of action on July 12 to oppose these camps and to call for them to be shut down. #CloseTheCamps
These concentration camps exist as a “solution” from the US to migration across the southern border. While these concentration camps are the most barbaric (so far), the other mainstream “solutions” provide little better: either to militarize the border to prevent migration, force people to migrate across more dangerous paths so that they die, or to return to the old, less barbaric camps, detention and processing centers. We must reject all of these “solutions”, and instead fight to let all people travel wherever they need and want, without punishment or rejection. We must #LetThemAllIn.
