California Youth Skip Halloween to Protest Scary Anti-Immigrant Policies- Denounce Immigration Raids and Deportations

WHEN: OCTOBER 31st 12:00pm
WHERE: 630 SANSOME - ICE Building

STOP THE RAIDS NOW!!!

Hundreds of high school and college age youth, from Oakland, Berkeley, Richmond, San Francisco, San Jose, San Lorenzo, San Leandro, Santa Cruz, Sacramento, and Hayward gather with community members and families to denounce the atrocities committed against the immigrant communities by Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE). This Halloween the festivities are left aside in order to shed light on the attacks that have been happening against immigrant and working class communities in these so called 'sanctuary cities.' Young people take the fore-front inorder to say 'Enough is Enough' – we need an immediate End to all ICE Raids, We need to shut down all detention Centers and we need to have REAL Sanctuary Cities.
During this time of election, immigrant families have been silently suffering repression, intimidation and constant targeting by ICE. Since neither presidential candidate wants to talk about this issue, young people from all over the Bay Area have united across cities and across colorlines to denounce the inhumane treatment of im/migrant communities and to ensure that the people's voice is heard.

Friday the 31st, yes, All Hallows' Eve ;)

We must stop the persecution and criminalization of economic and political refugees in our cities!
Politicians don't care about upholding Sanctuary City laws,
so we must do it ourselves!
NO ONE IS ILLEGAL!!!
