SUMMARY:Houstonians for Migrant Justice Rally
DESCRIPTION:We live in a city where asylum seekers are being kept in detention centers\, one of which lies just outside Downtown and is housing teenagers indefinitely. These centers are run by the Southwest Key Programs\, whose leaders are profiting off of the detainment of children and have yet to share adequate information about the conditions in these centers. We\, as Houstonians\, are obligated to come together to stand with the migrants in our city and call out maltreatment of migrants when it occurs. This is why Houstonians for Migrant Justice is committed to the humanitarian care\, timely reunification\, and just legal representation for migrants sheltered in our community\, and transparency and accountability from the agencies that provide these services.  \nOur group intends to use this joint rally-fundraiser to pursue this transparency and accountability\, by engaging with elected officials and urging them to visit the Southwest Key detention centers in Houston and by raising money for a prominent group providing pro-bono legal aid to Houston migrants.  \nThe rally will be held on Saturday September 14\, tentatively from 5:30-8:30pm at the Casa Sunzal detention center (419 Emancipation Ave). We will meet at Settegast Park (3000 Garrow St) at 5:30pm and walk for about 5-10 minutes to the detention center.  \nIf you are interested in volunteering with us to fundraise and conduct community outreach\, please contact us here.

SUMMARY:US Climate Strikes | September 20\, 2019
DESCRIPTION:The Houston Climate Strike will be the biggest climate strike in Houston history. As the energy capital world\, Houston is in a position to push the global community toward green energy. This transition will include access to training\, unionized jobs\, and support for those impacted by the switch in industry. We invite you to come stand with us and continue to the fight for a better future! If you are planning on joining us please remember to carpool\, walk\, or take public transportation if you are able to! \nSign up at https://actionnetwork.org/events/houston-climate-strike-2? \nJOIN THE CLIMATE STRIKE\nBeing a young person in 2019 means living every day in fear and dread as we see the foundations of civilization crumbling around us. \nIt means trying not to imagine what the world will look like in 30 years\, or even 10 years. \nScientists tell us we have just 11 years to transform our economy before it’s too late to protect human civilization as we know it. To achieve the scale of transformation science demands\, we need elected officials at every level of government to treat the climate crisis like the emergency it is and make the Green New Deal their top priority. But right now\, the leaders supposed to tackle this crisis are either asleep at the wheel or purposely driving us toward catastrophe so their oil and gas billionaire friends can keep raking in profits. \nDespite calls for a climate debate in the forms of 540\,000 petition signatures\, all major presidential candidates\, and over 100 DNC members\, the DNC voted on the weekend of August 24th to deny the resolution for a climate debate. Our future is at stake\, but Tom Perez just swept aside the climate crisis for someone else to solve. \nThat isn’t leadership. Once again\, we will have to take the lead. We will start by striking together. Will you join us?
