New Valencia Hall
747 Polk St.
SF
Wheelchair accessible
Last week, President Trump announced raids to deport thousands of immigrants from cities across the country, including San Francisco. Although last Sunday’s deportation sweeps were postponed, immigrants, their supporters, and working people in general need to demand an end to all ICE raids and detentions.
Join with other community members, advocates and activists to plan a July 5th demonstration to demand that the Federal Government stop the raids and close detention centers.

2. Monday, 9:30am – SF Playdate Protest to #CloseTheCamps
SF Federal Building
98 7th St.
SF
This is a playdate protest that centers our kids, calling on Congresswoman Pelosi to do everything in her power to unify her party to close the concentration camps where children, families and other immigrants are suffering and dying.
We’ll be reading stories, singing songs, playing and making movement art. We’ll also hear from families who’ve been directly impacted and make our voices heard all the way to Pelosi’s office.
Please bring your blankets, bubbles, signs and extra snacks. Come ready to sing and chant and help your kids participate in the activities.
9:30am – We will gather in the Federal Building courtyard behind the Bamboo Asia restaurant (along Mission St).
10am-11am – We will hold our playdate and if you can’t find us along Mission, we will likely be on the 7th Street side of the same courtyard of the Federal Building.
Resources for talking to your kids about immigration: https://docs.google.com/…/1skKBvHn535vNl_EeiW2iswFrwW…/edit…
We are a group of immigrants and community members who believe that immigrants are vital members of our community and who are horrified by the treatment of migrants at our southern border and in communities across our country. We believe immigrant families belong together and free. We are affiliated with many organizations including, but not limited to: La Colectiva de Mujeres, Mujeres Unidas y Activas, Hand in Hand, SURJ Youth and Families, Bay Reistance, Rice and Beans Coop, and the Bay Area Families Solidarity Network.

Thursday, July 4
4. Thursday, 10:00am – 11:30am, Standing on this land together: Indigenous, settlers & migrants
1900 4th St.
Berkeley
This July 4th, join members of the indigenous Ohlone, interfaith and immigrant community for prayer and ceremony on sacred Ohlone territory at the West Berkeley Shellmound site. This 4th of July, we honor the ancestors and 1st nations of the Bay area.
~ We reflect on what does it mean to be a guest on indigenous land?
~ How is the invisibility, displacement and harm towards indigenous peoples and immigrants connected?
~ How can we create new meaning together in celebration of our interdependence?
In a gesture of reparations and making amends for the continued occupation of indigenous land, non-indigenous peoples are invited to make a donation to support:
1) Shellmound Legal Defense Fund: https://shellmound.org/donate/
(2) Shuumi Land Tax: https://sogoreate-landtrust.com/shuumi-land-tax/
** If standing for 1.5 hours is uncomfortable, please bring a camping chair.
** After the Ceremony, for those who can stay, we will walk over to the water at the Berkeley Marina and have a picnic. Please bring something to share!
** Be mindful that the Berkeley Marina will be having their annual July 4th all day festival beginning at 12:00pm

Join us in front of the ICE building for our monthly interfaith vigil! We will nourish our spirit and call for the dismantling of ALL forms of detention and incarceration. Let us turn our collective energy to mend the past, heal the present, and transform the future!

We stand with members of the Japanese American community who are calling for the closing of all detention centers: “Never Again Is Now.”
