Preparing for this weekend’s national day of mourning and action

  1. This Saturday, join a vigil in your community to mourn Lorenzo, Johan, and all victims of ICE and fight for accountability. Vigils of every size can help ensure that Lorenzo’s and Johan’s killings do not fade from public attention and send a clear message: No government agency should be allowed to kill anyone, intimidate witnesses, or operate with impunity.

    You may also notice there are vigils scheduled before Saturday. We encourage you to gather as events are planned, either on the day of action or before. Don’t see an event near you? Sign up to host your own.
  2. Tonight at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT: Join the call from our partners at LULAC and Shared Future to prepare for this weekend’s vigils, and learn how to continue demanding accountability for Lorenzo, Johan, and every victim of ICE violence.
  3. Tomorrow at 8pm ET/ 5pm PT: Join the second call of our Immigrant Justice Summer training series. As ICE brutality skyrockets across the country, it’s critical that we all have the skills and training to organize an effective response and protect our communities. On this call, you’ll learn how to identify and support the work of existing immigrant justice organizations in your area. Didn’t catch Call 1? That’s okay, you can watch the recording here.

    NOTE: This call will take place at the same time as the training for vigil hosts. If you’ve signed up to host a vigil, please do not miss that training! The Immigrant Justice Summer call will be recorded and available here.
