Prayer Service in front of Adelanto Immigration Detention Center

Location:
In front of Adelanto Detention Center

Adelanto CA 92301
Join us in observing Tisha B’Av, the ninth day of the month of Av. A day of fasting and lament for catastrophic events in Jewish history. Lament is undertaken by the entirety of the community not just to mourn, but as a generative act that leads to teshuvah, acts of restorative justice.
Together we will reflect on the current human rights violations occurring inside Adelanto Detention Center and across the country against immigrants. Together we can look for ways we can move towards change in our community.
Leading the prayer service will be Rabbi Suzanne Singer and Rev. Julie Kelly.
Justice Not Jails
Come Join Our First Thursday Meeting!
Aug 1st: AB 32: Ending For-Profit Prison Facilities and Beyond
Time: 6:30-8:00pm
Location: Lincoln Memorial Church
4126 Arlington Ave. Los Angeles
Focus: We will focus on learning about the status of AB 32 which will prohibit the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation from entering into a contract or renewing a contract with a for-profit, private prison facility located in or outside of the state. We will hear testimony of those impacted by for-profit, private prison facilities, and embark on a conversation on creating an alternative future without jails, prisons, and policing.
1) AB 32: We will be moving forward to ensure AB 32 becomes law by committing to take appropriate actions, i.e., district legislative office visits, phone calls, letters of support, and/or providing public testimony before the appropriate legislative body.
2) Faith Framework: Establish a framework for a faith-rooted worldview for building community and fostering restorative justice
A light dinner will be served. For more information and RSVP, please contact Rev. Larry Foy lfoy@im4humanintegrity.org
Together we will dismantle the culture of criminalization, restore our communities, and reclaim our character.
We hope you will join us.
