End ICE Detention: Statewide Weekend of Action

Indiana Statewide Weekend of Public Witness

This statewide, coordinated campaign is being organized by our friends at the Indiana Organizing Project. Join at one of many locations in Indiana the weekend of August 28-30 in a coordinated protest of ICE Detention at the Miami Correctional Facility. Please mark your calendar now and plan to stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and friends. Each location's event varies. Some groups will be doing Prayer Vigils, others are holding eductational events, and yet others are hosting rallies or street-side sign-waving.
