"Calling all Lawrencians - Show Up in Solidarity"
SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 12:00, 9TH & MASS
From Sanctuary Alliance,
“Today’s murder by ICE in Minneapolis shows, yet again, the rogue violent actions by federal agents whose only aim is to destroy communities, rip families apart and act in the name of an unjust administration.”
“WE SAY ENOUGH.”
“This is not the first murder at the hands of immigration “enforcement.”
This is not the first shooting.
The start of this new year has been ripped away from us by the continued violence of federal forces.
We need to take our power back, in solidarity, in community.
Please join us for a solidarity demonstration, Sunday January 11th from 12:00-1:00pm at 9th and Mass in downtown Lawrence.
We are grateful to the Sunday protest organizers for giving us the space to show our solidarity with Minneapolis and our immigrant neighbors who continue to be terrorized by ICE.
We ask the community to show up with us.
While we fully acknowledge demonstrations are not the end of the work needed to change these violent systems, we know, by coming together in community we can show our collective demand for change.
We show up for our immigrant community.
We show up for all those who have been harmed at the hands of ICE.”
“**We are also aware there will be several vigils, demonstrations, and protests in the coming days. We urge the community to continue to show up when and where they can. We will continue to monitor any development out of Minneapolis and listen to the needs and actions of our comrades. We will continue to listen and share.**”
