Make no mistake — the GEO Group’s pattern of violence and disregard for human life is systemic. The answer is clear: end for-profit immigration detention, abolish ICE, and replace it with a system that ensures dignity and respect for ALL our neighbors. ❤️✊🏽

Yesterday's candlelight vigil was much needed. We were glad to spend time remembering those who were lost to ICE and CBP. Our hearts go out to their families and friends. These souls will not be the last ones, but we can make sure to lessen the amount lost. Together, we can build a safer future.

One more soul has been taken, and for what? Our legislatures might take forever, but with people power we can make a difference. Make sure you have CORRN hotline number in your contacts and check out the volunteer positions at CORRN to see if any fit you. 1-844-864-8341
