Tonight's Vigil for Victims of ICE and a Wave of Change
Hello, Everyone!
If you are attending tonight's event, I am very much looking forward to seeing you. If you are not yet registered, you may do so here: Henderson Día de los Muertos: Vigil for Victims of ICE
If you are joining us for the Henderson City Council's public comment at 4pm, you may look for me at the entrance of City Hall facing the courtyard at 3:45pm and headed in around 3:55pm. I am the woman in a black coat with a multi-colored stole. There will be another public comment period at the meeting's end.
Our goal is to share our concerns with Henderson City Councilmembers regarding ICE in our community: RISK to public trust, LIABILITY to our local law enforcement aiding a rouge agency, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the DANGER ICE poses to our community members.
Please note:
-NO weapons of any kind will be permitted at our event.
-We are NON-VIOLENT.
-You will have to pass metal detectors before entering City Hall.
-Free parking is available in the Water St garage and along various streets. Other garages are also available, but further away.
-Dress in layers. The vigil will take place outdoors.
The vigil will be held in front of the Municipal Court at 243 S. Water St. and will last approximately 1 hour. City Councilmembers will be invited to attend.
I appreciate all of your support and thank you for standing with our immigrant community members. The midterms have proven, across the country, that We The People, will NOT tolerate fascism, nor an abusive government that seeks to destroy our diversity, kidnap our neighbors and erase our most marginalized community members.
NOW, we must pressure our leaders to act as soon as possible to hold our corrupt officials accountable! Most of our newly elected leaders have been fighting for human rights, climate protections and higher quality of life since before they started campaigning. Support them. Those who have only performed for voters and those who remain stagnant in their advocacy, must be pestered until they act, with effectiveness. The work continue and this time, we have legislative leverage. Use it! We MUST save our country, abolish ANY system that enables people, like Trump and the Epstein class, to rise and remain in power, and rebuild our nation for everyone else. WE make America great, and WE are not going anywhere.
In Solidarity and with Love,
Naomi Joy
