Human and Immigrant Rights groups around the nation will join in solidarity demonstrations on Wednesday, September 12 at immigration offices to demand an end to:
* Raids on Central American and Latino workers undocumented in the US
* Racial Profiling
* Use of Severe, Terrorizing Tactics with Immigrants
* Separation of Families
Bring a sign - "STOP THE RAIDS"
Cleveland is about to take a stand against the harsh policies targeting immigrants. We want advocates from all over Ohio to represent at this rally. We need to make a strong statement NOW.
· 180 workers in a chicken plant were arrested in Butler County , Ohio , last week. Many face months in prison.
· 45 men, women and minors arrested in sweeps in Painesville since May 18. Most were low-wage field and factory workers. Some are still in jails around Ohio , or permanently deported.
· Congress has approved 45,000 new detention beds for immigrants, including children.
· Families are being separated by the thousands.
· Hundreds are dying at the border.
When we will stand up and say, “Enough!” ?
It’s time to let our elected officials know we will no longer stand by as our communities are destroyed.
