Detention Into a Death Sentence

#FaithfulFridays:

Detention into Death Sentence

On Tuesday March 31st, we produced and released a video uplifting a letter from the fathers, brothers, sons, and grandfathers held captive inside Mesa Verde Immigration Detention Facility. They share their urgent plea:

Covid-19 "will turn our detention into a death sentence."

We worked with the men inside on how to release their letter, lawyers to ensure their safety, and partners organizations to assure the world hears their plea. Over 40k people have shared this video, and we want your help to share it even more widely.

For this week's #FaithfulFridays, we ask you all to:

SHARE this video and tag @GavinNewsom - Governor Newsom has the power to impact ICE detention!

SHOW this video as part of online religious services and faith community to spread the word.

We have heard that your work last week from #FaithfulFridays caught Governor Newsom's staff's attention, and we're hoping to continue that work until ICE and Governor Newsom take action!

What Else Can You Do?

We hope that you will consider sustaining the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity over the next year. We are beginning our Spring Sustainer Drive for Liberation to continue organizing and advocating during this time, helping us to continue supporting the work we do together.
