Call to Action: Join us this Wednesday, June 3rd, for our weekly vigil at the Aurora ICE Processing Center (3130 Oakland St, Aurora, CO). In a spirit of solidarity, we recognize that conditions in all detention centers are no different from what is happening in Delaney Hall New Jersey—and the very same situation is unfolding right here in Aurora. Come demand accountability, speak out against injustices, and take meaningful action to ensure that detainees are treated as human beings and that their dignity is respected. We look forward to seeing you at 6:00 PM. Don't miss it—come and take action! —-Llamada a la Acción ven este miércoles 3 de junio a la vijilia semanal en Aurora IceProcessing Center en Aurora 3130 Oakland St Aurora Co en Solidaridad las condiciones en todos los centros de detención no son diferentes a lo que está pasando en NJ, lo mismo está pasando aq en Aurora ven a demandar y denunciar y realmente tomar acción para que los detenidos sean tratados como seres humanos y respeten su Dignidad te esperamos 6 pm no puedes faltar ven y toma acción——/I can’t stop thinking about what is happening inside Delaney Hall, Torrance County Detention Facility, and detention centers across this country.
Right now, detained immigrants and advocates say hundreds of people are participating in hunger strikes, a desperate act to call attention to the conditions they are facing, their treatment, and what they describe as a lack of dignity and care inside detention.
People do not stop eating because things are okay. People stop eating when they feel unheard. When they feel trapped. When they feel like their humanity is being ignored.
Advocates and families have raised concerns about medical care, treatment, and detention conditions, with growing fears about what could happen as some people spend days on hunger strike, including reports of possible force-feeding interventions.
And in the middle of all of this, I keep thinking about Nayeli, a 10-year-old girl who spent her birthday outside Delaney Hall calling for her father’s freedom while he remains detained inside.
No child should have to carry the weight of separation, fear, or fight for the dignity of the people they love.
Behind every headline, statistic, and political talking point, there are human beings. There are families. There are children like Nayeli.
For Nayeli, for the families outside, and for the people inside risking everything to be heard: call your Member of Congress and demand oversight now.
