@GovRaimondo “I light this candle to light a fire in our hearts — so that when we say never again, we mean it for our siblings in detention."
UPDATE: Wyatt scheduled their meeting for 6pm last Friday, and, singing Shabbat prayers, we cancelled their meeting.
The board is meeting tonight and we are back, once again, to pray with our feet.

As the meeting begins, we are asking: which side are you on?
We are urging board members to vote no or resign their positions. Never Again is Now.

UPDATE: As protestors ripped black cloth in mourning for those held in facilities like this across the country, the Wyatt board decided that they will not be voting.

Update: Wyatt cancelled their meeting and rescheduled it for 6pm tonight. If you're thinking "isn't sundown on Friday when Jews begin observing the Sabbath, and thus not a good time for a public meeting?", you're right. But we'll be there anyway, praying with our feet ✡️🔥✡️
And we won't be there alone! We're following in the footsteps of local immigrant rights groups like @amornetwork, who've been fighting to #ShutDownWyatt since before #JewsAgainstICE was a hashtag. That's why we're splitting all donations with AMOR!

Remember the Wyatt ICE detention center in RI? The one where the guards ran us over with a truck & pepper sprayed us, and the town it's in has been trying to shut it down for a year?
The Wyatt board cancelled tonight's meeting to hide from our protest. Won't work, we'll be back.

Wyatt is in Central Falls, the smallest city in the smallest state, a majority-Latinx city w/ a mayor whose parents were undocumented. They don't want a violent ICE prison.
But the ICE collaborators making $ won't back down. So we fight to #ShutDownWyatt: actionnetwork.org/forms/support-…

This is what it looks like when ICE collaborators start to feel the heat! Wyatt Detention Center's Board of Directors cancelled their meeting tonight because they found out we would be there to protest. As if we won’t be there whenever they reschedule...
