Freedom Vigil - Pottstown

Please join our Freedom Vigil, organized by your fellow community members in solidarity with our friends, neighbors, and community members who are being unjustly detained and deported by ICE. By signing up, you will help us build our collective power as we add our vigil to the ever expanding map of Freedom Vigils occurring every week across the country. During this time when ICE is lawlessly tearing families apart and engaging in human rights abuses at detention centers, our vigil offers a peaceful, powerful way to oppose these cruel attacks on immigrants and show those who are detained, and their families, that they are not forgotten. Let’s raise our voices together, shining a light on the family separations, the detentions in horrific conditions– where some people are literally held in cages– and the deportations happening quietly out of the public eye. This will be a peaceful, family-friendly event featuring community speakers, moments of reflection, and opportunities to take action. Please join us and bring signs! Together, our voices will rise as we build momentum and increase the public pressure to stop the deportations, shut the detention centers, and end the inhumane attacks on immigrants. *A core principle behind all Freedom Vigils is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
