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?

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.

DESCRIPTION:Are you sickened and outraged by the recent white supremacist murders in El Paso? By the Christchurch mosque murders? By the murders at the Pittsburgh synagogue? By the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville? By the murders at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston? Are you ready to take a stand against the fascists and other white supremacists who are committing or encouraging these heinous crimes? \nYou are invited to participate in a counter-demonstration against the Texas Patriot Network and other white supremacists at the George R. Brown Convention Center\, 1001 Avenida De Las Americas\, on Saturday\, August 31. These racists will be protesting against the Islamic Society of North America Convention. Our counter-demonstration will begin at 7:30 am and continue until 5:30 pm. Come when you can\, and stay as long as you can. \nLast year this crew planned a three-day protest but barely got through the first day. We massively outnumbered them\, easily outshouted them\, and embarrassed them so badly that they could not get enough racists to come back on the second and third days. We know because we were there waiting for them each day. Solidarity among diverse organizations and individuals made last year’s antifascist action a great success. \nWe support our Muslim brothers’ and sisters’ right to hold their convention\, exercise their religious freedom\, and live as they wish without fear of violence\, harassment\, or intimidation. And we oppose any kind of platform for fascists. So once again\, we will be at GRB to drown out the racism and religious bigotry of TPN and their friends\, and drive them off the streets as soon as possible. \nThis anti-fascist action is endorsed by Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en la Lucha (FIEL)\, Free Los Niños Coalition\, Houston Peace and Justice Center\, Houston Socialist Movement\, Houston United Front Against Fascism\, Janie Torres\, Mexicanos en Acción\, National Domestic Workers Alliance\, Refuse Fascism\, Socialist Alternative\, and other groups (list in formation).
