If you have any idea how deeply members of this remarkable community love one another and labor for justice, you will do everything you can to celebrate with them as the hunger strikers break their fast at 5pm Monday evening, March 3 in front of Phoenix ICE. Their spirit of hope and resistance is infectious; they've convinced me that any evil empire can be overcome and a new world is possible if only we put our heads and hearts together and take action.
Please sign the families' petition here. And keep telling ICE to set their loved ones free at 202-732-3000.
from the PUENTE HUMAN RIGHTS MOVEMENT (March 2, 2014)
Join us this Monday at
5pm to celebrate our community in resistance, honor the leadership of
the brave freedom fighters who have been on hunger strike, and plan
together next steps in the fight against deportations.
Despite deportation, hospitalization, a police raid, and violent hate directed our way on a daily basis, we will come together Monday evening, as planned, to break bread with the hunger strikers as they end their fast.
While the hunger strike ends on Monday, our fight for justice for our entire community goes on, strengthened by the commitment and leadership of the hunger strikers inside and outside of Eloy Detention Center.
During the last two weeks, our community has faced many trials, but they are many of the same struggles we face in private every day. Our action has led many to take notice of the crisis of deportations, and to join us in lifting up the call to the President that it is his duty to take immediate action to halt deportations.
Please bring food to share (and a friend) if you are able.

Vengan este lunes a las 5:00pm para celebrar nuestra comunidad en resistencia, honrar el liderazgo de los luchadores por la libertad valientes que han estan en huelga de hambre, y planificar juntos los próximos pasos en la lucha contra las deportaciones.
A pesar de la deportación, hospitalización, una redada de la policía, y el odio violento dirigida a nosotros cada dia, nos reuniremos la noche del lunes, como ya planeabamos, para comer con los huelguistas de hambre, cuando terminan su ayuno.
Mientras que la huelga de hambre termina el lunes, nuestra lucha por la justicia para toda nuestra comunidad continúa, reforzado por el compromiso y el liderazgo de los huelguistas de hambre dentro y fuera del centro de detención Eloy .
Durante las últimas dos semanas, nuestra comunidad se ha enfrentado a muchas pruebas, pero son muchas de las mismas dificultades que enfrentamos en privado todos los días. Nuestra acción se ha llevado a muchos a tomar nota de la crisis de las deportaciones, y se unan a nosotros en el levantamiento de la llamada al Presidente que es su deber de tomar medidas inmediatas para detener las deportaciones.
