On Wednesday morning, the mayor’s office wants to displace more than 400 people, including children, from their tents in the cold, with nowhere to go! We will not accept this.

Let’s unite as a community and show the Mayor’s office that our migrant neighbors are not trash that can be swept from street to street, and they are willing to work for their success. They have struggled a lot to be here and build a new life for their families and friends. We need real options, real opportunities, real employment, and real housing! The greater community is supporting them, so now is the time!

Both protests are led by migrants, and we will protect the participating migrants from being arrested or facing repercussions.
