Night of 1,000 Conversations in Tacoma

From our partners at FIRM:

Join thousands of people across America for the Night of 1,000 Conversations. They are going to talk with friends, family, neighbors, and community members about how the government is moving away from American ideals of upholding human rights and civil liberties. They are going to talk about how Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policies impact their communities and what their communities can do to protect the people they care most about. Then, they are going to do something about it.

In our area, One America will be meeting at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma Washington. More details below.

September 20, 2008
11:00 am to 3:30 pm
Northwest Detention Center * 1623 East J Street

Hosted by One America, demonstrators will be standing in solidarity with detainees and families and friends of those impacted by inhumane conditions in the local immigration detention center. The goal is to provide both logistical support to loved ones about the detention process and finding an attorney to represent them as well as moral support for the plight faced by these families. For more information, contact Shana Roth-Gormley at (206) 723-2203 x 205 or shana@WeAreOneAmerica.org.
