ICE Out of Gilroy! Interfaith Freedom Vigil
STOP HOLSCLAW DETENTION CENTER FROM OPENING!
Sunday, Aug 30, 3-4pm
PARK AT Valley Health Center 7475 Camino Arroyo Dr., Gilroy*

Bring flowers for our ritual ~ Vigil signs welcomed ~ Wear religious attire if appropriateĀ 

Let’s lift our voices to stop the deportations,
shut the detention centers, and
end the inhumane attacks on migrants.

The program includes stories from directly impacted people, songs, prayers, reflections from diverse faith traditions, silence and a ritual of remembrance.

This is a recurring monthly vigil for peace in our communities and in the world, in solidarity with our friends, neighbors, and community members who are being unjustly detained and deported by ICE.

This is a peaceful, family friendly event open to people of all faiths and of none.
