– On
Wed., Aug. 28 from 6 to 7 PM, join a rally No Child Detention Center in
Takoma! It is hosted by Close Immigrant Children Prisons at 6896
Laurel St. NW, WDC 20012-2016. This is the site of the proposed facility
for a child detention facility. The rally is on the 56-year Anniversary of the
March on Washington to oppose the opening of yet another detention center for
migrant children. On this historic day, none of us are free until all of us are
free, and putting migrant children behind bars violates basic human dignity. US
Immigration Policy is and has been characterized by criminalization,
scapegoating and targeting of people of color.
The
United States has the dishonorable distinction of being the leading
incarcerator in the world. Prisons have become America’s norm and are now the
default approach to immigration as well -- on the 56-year Anniversary of the
March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, gather to say we can and must do
better. Dynamic Service Solutions, a for-profit Maryland-based
contractor, has received a $20.5 million contract from the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services to operate this facility and Douglas Jemal will help
make it happen by leasing one of its buildings. Dynamic Service Solutions is
also involved in the operation of the largest immigrant child detention center
in Homestead, Florida. The community is sickened that the detention of minors
is becoming a billion-dollar industry, where, ICE and Police collude to
incarcerate our neighbors and line the pockets of people like Doug Jemal. See https://www.facebook.com/events/413462269292870/.

Down DC-Climate Strike Washington, DC at the Friends Meeting House, 2111
Florida Ave. NW, WDC 20009. Youth leaders from around the world have
called for a climate strike and global week of action from September 20th-27th.
They have been taking the lead so far, but now they are calling on all of us to
take action. In Washington, D.C., answer the call and build on the momentum of
the youth climate strikes in a major way.
On September 23rd, the plan is to shut down Washington, DC. Hundreds of people
have already signed the pledge of resistance committing to take action, and a
wide range of groups are organizing to make this historic action happen. The
action framework for the day will be laid out, and you will be introduced to
some affinity groups that you can plug in with to take action, and make plans
to build for a powerful and dynamic action this September! Sign the
pledge of resistance at https://www.strikedc.org/.

take part in this International Day Against Nuclear Tests. Gather on
the West side of Phila. City Hall, 15th & Market Sts. at 10:45 AM on Thurs.,
Aug. 29, when people will observe a moment of silence, at 11:05 AM. Distribute

Congress. Leaflet passersby about the continuing threat of nuclear
war. The Brandywine Peace Community will join the Grannies with banner and
signs. ABOLISH NUCLEAR WEAPONS!
In 2009, the United Nations declared 29 August to be the
International Day Against Nuclear Tests, a day to raise awareness about the
catastrophic impacts of nuclear weapons tests or any other nuclear explosions,
and the need to abolish nuclear tests as one of the ways to achieve a
nuclear-weapon-free world. The initiative for the day came from the government
of Kazakhstan. The date chosen commemorates the anniversary of the closure of
the Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test site in Kazakhstan in 1991. Visit www.un.org/en/events/againstnucleartestsday/index.shtml and
