Hi Lilly,

Tomorrow's Design@Large will be virtual only, 4-5pm and registration is required. We'll have Detention Watch Network organizers who can talk about the ways that we link up "site fights" from individual prisons/detention centers across state and national campaigns. I think this is particularly important in California, where immigrant detention capacity is scaling up from closed prisons in California City and Dublin. Would love it if you can help spread the word!

All my best,

m
