April 17 #CommunitiesNotCages
The "Communities Not Cages" National Day of Action, organized by Detention Watch Network is co-hosted by the American Friends Service Committee and Immigrant Justice Network. The demonstration calls for an end to immigration detention and deportation policies under the Trump administration's hardline agenda.
The coordinated day of action includes rallies, vigils, banner drops, and large-scale light projections in cities such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver, Atlanta, and New York City. Actions kicked off with an interfaith vigil in Dublin, California on April 16 and will continue through April 19 in Gadsden, Alabama.
The "Communities Not Cages" campaign aims to shut down existing detention centers and halt further expansion. Organizers emphasize community-based alternatives to detention and demand that public funds be redirected toward immigrant support services rather than incarceration. [ Newsweek ]
