Subject: Join us at Lights For Liberty Tonight and Action for Immigrant Lives Tomorrow!
Dear Daniel,
On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps, will bring thousands of people to locations worldwide as well as to concentration camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by migrants. It now has 753 worldwide vigils scheduled.
We stand with all who object to this administration's criminalization of Black and brown people in detention camps. All people are equally deserving of respect. Asylum is a human right.
In Boston, join Massachusetts Peace Action on the steps of the State House tonight from 7-9 pm as we participate in Boston Lights for Liberty. Look for the Mass. Peace Action Banner, on the right when facing the State House. By standing together we can show how strongly the peace movement supports this event, and highlight the connection between US foreign policy decisions and the refugee crisis they have helped to create. Anyone who would like to gather the make signs is welcome at the Mass. Peace Action office at 11 Garden St. in Cambridge starting at 2 PM today. Give us a call at 617-354-2169 or email at In...@masspeaceaction.org to let us know you're coming.
See below for more Lights for Liberty events across Massachusetts.
Then, attend Action for Immigrant Lives, a teach-in and organizing event, this Saturday July 13th from 10 AM to 2:30 PM at 138 Tremont Street in Boston.
Massachusetts Peace Action is working to form a Latin America/ Immigrant Rights Working Group. We seek to foreground the constant U.S. interventions in Latin America which are a main cause of the refugee crisis. Can you help? The group will meet in late afternoon, Monday June 15th in Cambridge; it's possible to participate by phone. To join us, please reply at in...@masspeaceaction.org or call 617-354-2169.
What's Next after the Mayfair Walkout? Organizers of the June 26 walkout, which was supported by 500 Mayfair employees and called for the company not to sell furniture to a federal detention facility for child migrants, will talk about the next steps in a corporate campaign. Wednesday, July 24, 7pm at Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church, 1555 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge. Sponsored by Boston DSA and Massachusetts Peace Action.
Whither Venezuela After Failure of the Coup? Kevin Zeese and Marilyn Flowers, members of the Venezuela Embassy Protection Collective, will discuss their experiences at a talk at First Parish Cambridge, 3 Church Street, Sunday July 28th from 6-8 PM. Sponsored by the Venezuela Solidarity Committee, cosponsored by Mass. Peace Action and United for Justice with Peace.
