Host a Close the Camps protest this Tuesday at noon?

MoveOn members and allies are gathering at local protests—outside the offices of members of Congress. Can you host a protest near you?

Dear MoveOn member,

The images of children suffering in U.S. detention camps have outraged us all—and we need to turn that outrage to action, to demand that the Trump administration close the camps immediately, free the children, reunite them with their families, and stop this war on immigrants.

 

On Tuesday, July 2 at noon, all across the country, MoveOn members and allies are gathering at local protests outside the offices of members of Congress (who are in-district for the week) to demand our representatives use every lever of power they have to confront this administration and help these children and all immigrants. Can you host a protest near you?

 

Click here if you can arrange your local protest—and MoveOn staff and volunteers will support you along the way, provide resources to guide your work, and recruit neighbors to your protest.

 

MoveOn, the American Friends Service Committee, Families Belong Together, and United We Dream are working together on these rapid-response actions, because it's important we show members of Congress and other elected officials that Americans of all walks of life won't stand for the Trump administration's attacks on immigrants and the horrific conditions in child detention camps—and we won't tolerate Congress letting these brutal detentions and deportations and horrific conditions continue. When we see images and hear stories like what we've heard, it's incumbent on all of us to act.

 

MoveOn members have been asking how to respond—which is why we're springing into action. We expect protests across the country—even just a few folks can get local media attention and send a message to members of Congress and their staff. 

 

So click here if you can host an event on Tuesday, July 2—and we'll support you as you get started.

 

Thanks for all you do.
