Our Mission

We are a coalition of people, many of whom are mothers, dedicated to human rights, and the fundamental principle behind democracy that all human beings have a right to life, liberty and dignity.

We are partnering with national, regional and local communities and organizations who believe that these fundamental rights are not negotiable and are willing to protect them.

On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, will bring thousands of Americans to detention camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by refugees

7. Part of their goal is to protest AT the camps, so it would take some time to organize that part of

it, as well as to coordinate simultaneous protests across the country.

9. Maybe we should be storming the state houses to demand improvements, if the feds won't fix this.

States have jurisdiction over crimes... how do these conditions not meet child endangerment criteria?

14. People want to know what they can do. I think that if this gets big enough, it could

make a difference. I like that they are trying to organize both protests on site at the camps and coordinated local protests everywhere else.

Look at what the Hong Kong protesters did. We should put such numbers in the streets across the nation.

16. I have seen it growing in the last two days.

I wish it was bigger. And I wish more Democrats and public persons were touting it. It takes time to get permits and raise awareness. But it’s an effort, and I appreciate that. I worry a bit about symbolic as opposed to real acts. But hey...
