 95060\nWhat:  There will be a (press conference with various community 
 advocates denouncing the raids in the Bay area) and rally followed by a 
 community celebration. The goal of the rally and the celebration is to 
 create a space where community members can become informed of their rights 
 if approached by Immigration Customs Enforcement, (ICE), agents and to 
 denounce and raise awareness of the recent ICE raids in the Bay Area, Los 
 Angeles, and Iowa.\nWho: Movement Immigrant Rights Alliance (MIRA), which 
 is a coalition of different community organizations on and off the 
 University of California,  Santa Cruz campus.\nWhy: As a response to the 
 numerous amounts of ICE raids that have occurred near the Santa Cruz area, 
 we are holding the above mentioned actions. Since May 1st, hundreds and 
 hundreds of people are being threatened, brutalized, detained, and 
 deported. Children are afraid to attend school, students’ academic 
 performance is being negatively affected, and families are being torn apart 
 due to the inhumane use of force from ICE. Through the action we will 
 inform the community of their rights and send out the message that if ICE 
 does come to Santa Cruz there will be a response from and for the 
 community. MIRA, along with other networks and organizations will assure 
 that the rights of immigrants in the community are respected! \n\n###\n
