DESCRIPTION:#FreeTheFamilies Vigil for ICE Detainees in Walnut Creek\n\nSunday, 
 September 27, 2020 @ 6:00 PM -  7:30 PM PT\n\nCivic Park, 1375 Civic Dr, 
 Walnut Creek, CA 94596\n\nAll day you can bring signs, toys, stuffed 
 animals, or ribbons to leave at or tie to the gazebo in Civic Park. 
 \n\nFrom 6:00 to 7:30 (around sunset) there will be a candlelight vigil in 
 Civic Park. Bring candles, electric candles, flashlights, or any other 
 source of light. Please be careful if you do bring a real candle. \n\nThis 
 administration’s attacks on migrant families is an affront to our values 
 and political system. We believe in supporting families and keeping them 
 together, not tearing them apart and caging them. Most recently, 
 whistleblower Dawn Wooten, a former nurse at ICE’s Irwin County Detention 
 Center in Georgia, stated that ICE surgically sterilized women detainees 
 without their consent.\n\nThe bottom line: there is a clear pattern of 
 abuse at the hands of ICE. They can’t be trusted to care for 
 anyone.\n\n#FreeTheFamilies

 \n\nPETITION:\n\nFor years, ICE has operated a "family jail" in Berks 
 County, PA — a facility used to specifically incarcerate families with 
 children. The Governor has the power to close this "family jail" and 
 release everyone detained inside. As Trump's top two DHS officials, Chad 
 Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli have committed countless atrocities. It's time for 
 them to go. Demand their resignation now:\n\nChad Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli -
