Communities Not Cages: National Day of Action to Stop ICE Warehouse Detention – Concord, April 25th, 10am – 12pm.
The Department of Homeland Security is moving to lock thousands of people in massive detention warehouses — disappearing them from their families, their lawyers, and their communities. We’re taking to the streets to make clear that stands for dignity, justice, and the rule of law. https://www.mobilize.us/disappearedinamerica/event/938577/

Our communities have been put in an impossible situation. Brutal federal budget cuts at the lack of a state budget means our county and school budgets are stretched to the max. It is time to turn the spotlight on those who have the power to change this situation — starting with our NC General Assembly. Get on the bus with us as we call on our state legislators to commit to funding the future our families and our communities need and deserve. Invite your friends and challenge your local electeds to come along as well!
