SUMMARY:#FamiliesBelongTogether Rally in Brownsville\, TX
DESCRIPTION:#FamiliesBelongTogether Rally\nOn Thursday\, June 28th\, families\, advocates\, and allies will hold a rally in the park across the street from the Brownsville Federal Court\, where immigrants are being prosecuted en masse for crossing the border into the United States\, and then separated from their children.

Join Indivisible Houston\, PSR Houston\, FIEL and other allied groups Saturday\, June 30th at 10 AM for a rally at City Hall and march to Ted Cruz’s office to show solidarity with families and opposition to burdensome\, ignorant\, divisive immigration law. \nThe horrors of the deportation machine and the Administration’s decision to kidnap children and use them as pawns in exchange for a fantasy real estate construction project along the southern border rip apart families and destroy communities. \nJoin us to demand that our publicly elected employees take the following actions: \n1) End the new DHS policy of family separation in order to REUNITE FAMILIES; \n2) Vote against the Goodlatte Immigration plan; \n3) Defund ICE (an agency established after 9/11 with expanded powers beyond standard\ncustoms checks and enforcement); and \n4) End private prison donations and require reps return all private prison donations- both individual and PAC. \n#EndFamilySeparation #AbolishICE #AbolishCBP \nORGS\nIndivisible Houston\nPantsuit Republic Houston\nFIEL\nPantsuit Republic State\nBlack Lives Matter Houston\nAFL-CIO\nTOP\nDSA Houston \n– \nDia Nacional de Accion\nDia Nacional de Accion \nLa humanidad no requiere ciudadania \nSabado 30 de Junio 10:00 AM \nReunion en City Hall (Palacio Municipal) para marchar a la oficina de el Senador Ted Cruz \nPARAR LA SEPARACION DE FAMILIAS \nDetalles \nAmigo de Houston – UNETE!
