SUMMARY:Honor the Dead-Fight for the Living
DESCRIPTION:About the Vigil: \n\n\n\nWeek after week\, people are dying in ICE detention and in encounters with immigration enforcement. In March\, we mourned Emmanuel Cleeford Damas. In recent weeks\, we have mourned the killings of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastián Guerrero\, as well as another victim in Florida. Their names join a growing list of lives stolen by a system that continues to destroy lives. Families are disappearing into detention centers as entire communities are forced to live in fear. \n\n\n\nIn response to these devastating killings and the escalating ICE presence targeting our neighbors\, join the LUCE network and community organizations for a 24-hour vigil in front of the Massachusetts State House in Boston. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we will honor the lives of those who have been killed\, support communities impacted by immigration enforcement\, and affirm our collective power to grieve\, organize\, and demand justice. We gather to remember our loved ones\, stand with one another\, and call for ICE OUT! \n\n\n\n7/24 12:00 PM – Vigil Starts7/24 12:00 PM – Press Conference7/24 6:30 PM – Night of Remembrance7/25 11:00 AM – Closing Rally7/25 12:00 PM – Vigil Ends \n\n\n\n\nRead More and RSVP\n\n\n\n\nHow to participate: \n\n\n\nWe invite everyone to join us in asserting our presence\, protecting our collective altar that honors and remembers all those lost\, and participating in programming throughout the 24 hours that reflects our communities’ traditions of remembrance\, resilience\, and collective care. \n\n\n\nParticipants are invited to bring flowers or a small symbol of remembrance of someone impacted by immigration enforcement\, such as a poem\, art work\, picture\, or message to display. \n\n\n\n\nAttend with Activist Evenings Friday 12 Noon-2 PM
