DESCRIPTION:#Lights4Liberty:  Protest Vigil of Detention Camps and Family Separations 
 at Lake Merritt\n\nDate & Time: Friday, July 12, 2019 at 7:30 PM – 9:00 
 PM \n\nPlace: Lake Merritt Amphitheater, Between 12th Street and 1st Ave., 
 Lake Merritt Blvd, Oakland 94612\n\nTogether let’s be the change and 
 stand up for compassion and human rights.\n\nAt 7:30 pm, please join us for 
 a silent vigil to stand in solidarity with immigrants, refugees and asylum 
 seekers, and in protest of detention and family separations, followed by 
 speakers. Please bring signs and electric candles or flashlights for the 
 vigil.\n\nFor families, earlier in the evening, at 5:30 pm, we will hold a 
 family-friendly, educational, engaging, and powerful protest against 
 immigration detention camps at a separate location. Kids and families will 
 learn in an age appropriate way what is happening, what’s happened in 
 history like this before, how others have ended practices like this, and 
 what they can do to stand up for everyone. Activities include paper 
 airplane letters to families in camps, glass jar intention setting, and 
 lemonade stand fundraiser planning.\n\nWe can’t keep going about our 
 business as if nothing is happening. The migrant detention camps must be 
 closed, and the people held there must be free. \n\nAs a community, we 
 cannot allow our children to grow up believing this is ok, or that it is 
 part of how America should strive for greatness. \n\nWe encourage attendees 
 to bring their own signs, and an electric candle or a flashlight. And 
 please note the updated location: we’ll be meeting at the Lake Merritt 
 amphitheater, which is on Lake Merritt Boulevard between 12th Street and 
 1st Avenue (across the street from the convention center).\n\nOrganized and 
 sponsored by Solidarity Sundays, Bay Area Breadwinning Mamas, Teachers Take 
 Action Against Gun Violence, Greenpeace USA and Kehilla Community 
 Synagogue, with support from many others.\n\nFamily event in partnership:
