CLOSE THE CAMPS - Day 22
August 22, 2019 - Day 22 - San Mateo County Activists Protest ICE!
Great showing and energy from San Mateo County as they gathered in front of ICE SF as part of the Month of Action to CLOSE THE CAMPS.
Day 22's rally was hosted by Pacifica Social Justice, an organization formed in January 2017. Their 1st project was to push for a sanctuary ordinance for Pacifica, and succeeded in securing a strong ordinance that was passed and became law in October of that same year. Today they are fighting to keep ICE out of their county jails as mandated by SB54. Two neighboring counties reported no transfers to ICE. San Mateo County reported 51 transfers and their sheriff participated in Operation Stonegarden, a program that supports enhanced coordination and cooperation between Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Border Patrol, and local law enforcement agencies.
Joining Pacifica Social Justice were Pacifica Peace People, Faith in Action Bay Area, Peninsula Democratic Socialists of America and others.
This rally was part of the Month of Momentum: 30 Days of Action to Close the Camps (ICE SF)
