End Family Detention: DC Direct Action Group
On Thursday, June 28th, Womens March and partners are organizing a mass civil disobedience in Washington, D.C.
We call on women from all communities to descend on our nation’s capital and demand the safety and freedom of immigrant families and children.We will put our bodies on the line to demand an end to this administration’s the zero-tolerance policy that automatically criminalizes undocumented immigrants and tears families apart.
We will take escalated action in D.C. on June 28th demanding lawmakers and federal officials do everything in their power to #EndFamilyDetention. On Saturday, June 30, we will rise up in cities across the nation to say #FamiliesBelongTogether. These children and families are counting on us. We can not allow these atrocities to go unchallenged. The time to ACT is NOW.
Marching is no longer enough, not when this administration is enacting policies that violently separate families, incarcerate children in prison camps and automatically criminalizes their parents. Not when we see photos and videos of children separated from their families and held in child prison camps. Not when we hear their cries for their parents and see their fear and trauma.
This is a DEFINING moment. One that will shape our generation. We need bold, strategic and targeted action. We cannot be silent.
*Direct action training and legal support will be provided to all women participating in nonviolent civil disobedience*
