Latino Action Network To Demonstrate At The Delaney Hall

Latino Action Network to Demonstrate at The Delaney Hall

Why We Are Gathering

The Latino Action Network, together with community partners and advocates, will hold a peaceful demonstration to show solidarity with individuals currently detained at Delaney Hall and to call attention to concerns regarding detention conditions, due process, and human rights.

This is an opportunity for our community to come together and demonstrate that we will not stand by while immigrant families and vulnerable individuals are subjected to policies and practices that undermine human dignity and justice.

Our goal is to make our voices heard through peaceful assembly, solidarity, and collective action. We gather not only for those detained inside Delaney Hall, but also for their families, loved ones, and communities who continue to live with fear and uncertainty.

New Jersey State Police are expected to be present to help maintain public safety and order. We encourage all participants to remain calm, peaceful, and focused on the purpose of the demonstration.

 

Our Commitment

Tomorrow is about more than one detention center.

It is about standing up for human dignity, due process, family unity, and the belief that every person deserves to be treated with respect and humanity.

By showing up, we send a message that our communities will not look away when people are detained, separated from their families, or denied basic dignity. We believe that corporations should not profit from human suffering and that our government must be held accountable to the principles of justice and human rights.

Together, our voices are stronger.

Together, we stand for justice.

Together, we stand with immigrant families.

¡Sí Se Puede!
