SUMMARY:Demonstration against the Houston Child Detention Center
DESCRIPTION:Widespread\, intense opposition to the separation of migrant families has led Trump to issue an executive order supposedly ending this practice. But this nightmare is far from over. About 2000 children remain separated from their moms and dads. Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy of prosecuting migrants may mean more family separations or the long-term detention of entire families. The administration is talking about new detention centers for scores of thousands of migrants. And in Houston\, plans for a new child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue are going forward. \nThe new Free Los Niños Coalition and the people of Greater Houston are not going to let this building become a prison for children or families. We are committed to stopping not only family separations but also raids\, detentions\, and the criminalization of people who are only seeking a better life. We understand that Trump’s attacks on migrants are part of a broader assault on people of color\, women\, LGBT communities\, workers\, and the limited rights we now have. And we are determined to defeat this dangerous repression\, drive the Trump administration from power\, and open the door to a brighter future with dignity and justice for all people. \nThe Free Los Niños Coalition and its member organizations invite you to participate in another demonstration against the Houston child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue on Thursday\, July 5\, at 6 pm. This action will include lots of chanting\, remarks from sponsoring groups\, a march through the neighborhood\, some wonderful entertainment\, and—time permitting—an open mic. Please join us and help prevent the detention of migrants on a street which was recently renamed to honor the emancipation of African Americans from slavery. \nCoalition members include Brown Berets de Houston\, Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en La Lucha (FIEL)\, Fight for Im/migrants and Refugees Everywhere (FIRE)\, Harris County Green Party\, Houston Democratic Socialists of America\, Houston Socialist Movement\, Refuse Fascism\, Service Employees International Union Texas (SEIU Texas)\, and Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (TEJAS). Additional sponsors are welcome. For more information\, call 281.935.1719 or 832.692.2306.

SUMMARY:Demonstration against George W. Bush
DESCRIPTION:George W. Bush will be honored at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award Dinner at the Hilton Americas-Houston hotel\, 1600 Lamar St.\, on Thursday\, May 24. Bush should be imprisoned for life for war crimes and crimes against humanity–not honored for moral courage.\n\n\nAs Governor of Texas\, Bush approved more than 150 executions. As President\, his invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 led to the deaths of over 250\,000 people. His invasion of Iraq in 2003 led to the deaths of more than one million people. And U.S. troops remain in both countries today. \nThe Bush administration tortured and abused prisoners in these countries\, in Guantanomo Bay\, and in secret sites around the world. Bush promoted passage of the PATRIOT Act\, which increased unconstitutional surveillance and reduced civil liberties. Bush’s neglect during Hurricane Katrina contributed to the suffering and deaths of hundreds of poor people\, predominantly African Americans\, in New Orleans. As one commentator has remarked\, “The blood on Bush’s hands will never dry.” \nA protest against Bush and will be held outside the Hilton Americas-Houston hotel\, 1600 Lamar St.\, on Thursday\, May 24\, from 5 pm until 9 pm. Please join us in condemning Bush’s actions as president and any efforts to whitewash these actions. This action is being organized by Houston Socialist Movement\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\, Workers World Party\, Young Communist League\, and other organizations (list in formation). For more information\, call 832.692.2306. \n\n
