III. PRESS CONFERENCE: End, Don't Mend, Secure Communities – Fri.,
April 27 at noon
Two days after the Supreme Court rally, we have the opportunity to
protect our own community from Arizonafication. The DC metro area has
been at the forefront of defending immigrant rights and rejecting
ICE's "Secure Communities" (S-Comm) program. This Friday, April 27,
ICE is holding a "community" roundtable to promote S-Comm. We're
calling upon community members and advocates from across the area to
join us for a press conference at noon outside the ICE building to
make it clear once again: We reject S-Comm.
S-Comm allows state and local police to check the fingerprints of an
individual they are booking into a jail against Department of Homeland
Security immigration databases. If there is a "hit" in an immigration
database, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is automatically
notified, even if the person has not been convicted of any criminal
act.
What: Press conference
When: Friday, April 27 at noon
Where: 131 M Street N.E. Washington DC 20002
(near New York Ave Metro)
Who: Unions, students, faith and immigrant rights groups, and
organizations against domestic violence
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
IV. HOPE FOR DARFUR – JUSTICE IN SUDAN RALLY – Sat., April 29 at 1:30
pm
The Darfur Interfaith Network and United to End Genocide encourage
people to stand up, take action, and march to demonstrate to our
government that there is continued broad support from U.S. citizens
for the United States to pursue peace and justice in Sudan. Rallyers
will demand that the U.S. government and the international community
act now with greater focus and determination to help the innocent
Sudanese people, who have suffered far too long and are the current
targets of ethnic cleansing and genocide!
What: Hope for Darfur - Justice in Sudan Rally
When: 1:30 pm, Sunday, April 29, 2012
Where: Metropolitan AME Church at 1518 M Street, NW (near Farragut
North or McPherson Square metro stops). Weather permitting,
participants will walk about half of a mile to Lafayette Park across
from the White House where the rally will be held.
