Take action: call or email the relevant offices and individuals. We have endured one year and four months of this administration, witnessing mass roundups by ICE—conducted merely to meet quotas—without regard for whether detention centers are over capacity. Housing people in large groups makes the rapid spread of disease inevitable. Across the country, we hear complaints from detainees regarding the lack of media attention and substandard medical care. Here at the GEO Processing Center in Aurora, Colorado—under this and previous administrations—we have identified outbreaks of various illnesses, including COVID-19, tuberculosis, conjunctivitis, skin infections, and numerous gastrointestinal and respiratory issues. These conditions endanger lives. There are other problems, too: filthy, unmaintained air conditioning systems; rooms that are either freezing cold or lack AC and ventilation entirely, turning into ovens with temperatures reaching 100 degrees; and unsanitary showers and poor ventilation that foster harmful mold, leading to fungal infections on people’s feet and skin. Furthermore, the drinking water is the same as the tap water in the sinks, and water fountain filters are never changed. Please take action, as no one wants to accept responsibility for the poor conditions at GEO or the resulting health risks. Help us by holding the entities and individuals mentioned in this campaign accountable. Our people deserve respect, dignity, and living conditions that do not endanger their lives. Take action now and share this campaign.
