DESCRIPTION:#Hungry4Justice\nFamilies Belong Together\n\n**You do NOT have to

 AUGUST 5th is our main community mobilization day. \n\n9 am // Opening 
 ceremony\n\n10 am - noon // Kid-friendly activities, music, art, community

 will be on site from 9 am - 6 pm. Supporters, musicians, artists, 
 organizations, individuals, and families are welcome to stop by any 
 time!!\n\nAs the administration fails to meet the court-ordered deadline to 
 reunite all families separated by the Zero Tolerance immigration policy, we 
 say:\n\nWe demand that every migrant family separated by this 
 administration be reunited and released from incarceration. We demand that 
 the families receive support and justice for the trauma inflicted by our 
 government.\n\nWe are launching a national rolling hunger strike in 
 solidarity with migrant families who are still separated and/or 
 incarcerated. We were inspired by the hunger strike of mothers inside Port 
 Isabel Detention Center in Texas, who went on a rolling hunger strike after 
 being denied the right to speak to their children and the awful conditions 
 inside the detention center. Community members in one city after another 
 will step up to fast for a few days at a time. As the fast ends in one 
 city, it will pick up in another.\n\nWe are parents, we are elders, we are 
 clergy members, we are volunteers, we are teachers. We are ordinary people 
 who have decided that enough is enough. We will not silently watch 
 government-sanctioned kidnapping and the torture of migrant families. We 
 will not sit back and watch families torn apart, babies and toddlers deemed 
 “ineligible” for reunification, children returned to their parents so 
 traumatized they can’t speak, parents denied food, water, and medical 
 care, children and women subjected to abuse and mockery. We stand against 
 the criminalization and dehumanization of immigrant families. \n\nWe will 
 continue our hunger strike and other solidarity actions until our demand is 
 met.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2018/08/01/18816712.php
