 DISTANCING REQUIRED!\n\nHeroic whistleblower Dawn Wooten, a former nurse at 
 ICE’s Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia revealed that ICE 
 surgically removed an “inordinate” number of women’s wombs against 
 their will.  This is absolutely despicable and, unfortunately, not new in 
 our nation's history.\n\nMoreover, this is not out of the ordinary for ICE: 
 it’s just another link in a long chain of racism, abuse, and neglect that 
 immigration authorities have inflicted on women, children and families in 
 their care all over the country. Enough is enough.  All families deserve to 
 be free and together. Take action today to demand that ICE 
 #FreeTheFamilies. \n\nWhy #FreetheFamilies?\n\nAcross the country, over 
 2000 children and tens of thousands of adults remain in immigration 
 detention.  Some families are stuck in cages together and some people are 
 separated from their families and detained alone.  \n\nWe are calling to 
 #FreetheFamilies because: \n\n--When people’s wombs are forcibly taken 
 from them, they are being robbed of their right to create a family. 
 \n\n--Every single person in detention is a part of a family, and their 
 inhumane detention, especially as COVID-19 rages through detention centers, 
 continues to keep families apart. \n\n--Family members can’t be safe in 
 detention. ICE let thousands of detained people and their own staff 
 contract COVID-19 by refusing to take protective measures. Six detained 
 people have died of the virus this year, and at least six children have 
 died in ICE custody since 2017.\n\nCo-hosted by the \n--Graton Day Labor 
 Center / ALMAS\n--North Bay Jobs With Justice\n--North Bay Organizing 
 Project\n--Northern California Rapid Response 
 Network\n___________________________________________________________\n\nSAFETY:
