What YOU Can Do

What Can You Do? A lot in 2019!
Current Actions:
1. If you can't make a vigil or protest, you can call your senators right now. Below are current legislation that needs our attention.
Here's where to call:

Sen. Casey - (202) 224-6324
Sen. Toomey - (202) 224-4254

2. As you know, we are facing a deadline in our fight to shut down the Berks County Family Detention Center, where currently 96 mothers and their children are incarcerated. Trump plans to undo the Flores Settlement Agreement, which established protections for immigrant children in detention, including assuring that they lived safely and could only be detained for twenty days. As of October 22nd, the federal government plans to eliminate these protections, and threatens to imprison immigrant families indefinitely. Currently, Berks County Family Detention Center is subject to Pennsylvania state licensing—and Governor Wolf has the authority to issue an Emergency Removal Order and close down the center. When the Flores Settlement Agreement is ended, he will lose this authority, and the Feds can keep the center open indefinitely.
      So, we have six weeks to convince Governor Wolf to issue and Emergency Order and Close Down Berks.
      Here are things that you can do now:
·         Call Governor Wolf and demand that he closes down Berks and convert the detention center into a drug rehabilitation center. Call (717) 787-2500.
The coalition has established Wednesdays as the day to have mass call-ins to the governor. Call on these dates especially. September 18, 24; October 2, 7, and 16, 2019.
