🚨NOW: #JewsAgainstICE in Los Angeles are shutting down the offices of the GEO Group, a private prison company that runs detention centers for ICE. 🚨
No more anonymity for anyone helping run the detention and deportation machine.
No rest for anyone profiting off of concentration camps.
Just 2 hours from this office building, GEO helps ICE run California’s largest concentration camp for immigrants.
Every day GEO employees go to work, they help Trump’s xenophobic & white supremacist agenda.
That’s why these #JewsAgainstICE are here saying #NeverAgainIsNow
👀👀👀Watch & share the livestream here: facebook.com/NeverAgainActi…
We need you to join us in LA & we need you to join us everywhere.
This is a massive moment and a mass movement.
Go to neveragainaction.com to join us.
The white supremacist agenda doesn’t just get carried out at the border.
It happens through concentration camps throughout the country.
It happens through mass murder inspired by Trump & co.
& it is made possible in buildings like this 1 in our cities.
Make. it. visible.
People are here today because they know this moment matters, they know which side they’re on
#JewsAgainstICE are still inside the building, too, preventing access to the offices where GEO employees help ICE run concentration camps:
Now entering hour 3️⃣ of shutting down the offices where GEO Group helps ICE run concentration camps.
Still blocking access inside, still blocking all of the doors:
Share this thread and come join us out front of the GEO Group building in LA at 6100 Center Drive
We’re here today because everyone should know that companies like GEO Group make their profit from ICE concentration camps, and they do it from buildings in our own backyards.
We don’t have to let them.
In every city and every state, we should make sure everyone knows who’s helping Trump and ICE detain, deport, and demonize migrants.
