UPDATE: Wyatt scheduled their meeting for 6pm last Friday, and, singing Shabbat prayers, we cancelled their meeting.

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.

Tonight we completed an ancient Jewish ritual called Kree-yah. Kree-yah is the tearing of one’s clothes or the tearing of cloth to mark a great loss or to respond to a great evil. We mourned, in grieving anticipation, of those whose lives will be threatened by the Board’s vote.
Ripped cloth symbolizes that certain types of loss can never be fully healed. The trauma of being detained can never be undone. Accounts of conditions in Wyatt & other ICE concentration camps, show us atrocities that will never be fully healed. #JewsAgainstICE #NeverAgainIsNow
The pressure we and @amornetwork are putting on the Wyatt prison board is working! The board postponed a vote on privatizing the prison and cementing their agreement with ICE, which is a big step!
But we still have a long way to go to #ShutDownWyatt...
