We've seen the reports of migrants being detained unnecessarily and in terrible conditions; of children being intentionally separated from their caregivers and kept in cages. We asked Rep. Garamendi not to fund hate, but he's voted to give the Trump administration more money to keep detaining migrants and separating children from their families.
We're rallying Tuesday, July 2nd at noon to tell Rep. Garamendi: Close the Camps; not one dollar more for this unnecessary and inhumane detention. Join us!

60+ Yolo Voters to Demand Closure of Child Prisons in #ClosetheCamps Protest
The Davis protest is part of a national day of action in response to the unnecessary detention of migrants and inhumane conditions in Trump’s detention centers. On Tuesday, July 2nd, local leaders, organizers, and activists will lead protests across the country to demand the closure of inhumane immigrant detention centers that subject children and families to horrific conditions.
Protesters will assemble outside of congressional district offices and call on members of Congress to close the camps, refuse to authorize any more funding for family detention and deportation, and visit detention camps to speak to migrants and bear witness to the atrocities being committed.
These conditions are the product of a cruel and unnecessary strategy by the Trump administration to terrorize immigrant communities, pump up private prison profits with taxpayer dollars, and dismantle our asylum laws. From imprisoning children in inhumane detention centers, threatening widespread raids to break up families, and covering up reports of migrants dying in U.S. custody, we must come together to permanently end family detention and separation, ensure all families are reunited, and close these evil camps paid for with huge amounts of our money.
WHAT: Protest of Congressional giveaway to inhuman and unnecessary child prisons
WHO: Alliance of Indivisible Yolo, MoveOn, and local immigrant rights groups
WHEN: Tuesday July 2 noon
WHERE: Rep Garamendi Offices, 412 G Street in Davis
Our demands of Rep. Garamendi:
1. Close the Camps
2. Not one Dollar More, for this unnecessary and inhumane detention
3. Bear Witness by visiting a camp during recess.
office: M-F 9am-5pm @ 412 G Street Davis, CA 95616
Please show up and call to let Rep. Garamendi know we are disappointed in his vote to fund the cruel and unnecessary detention of migrants in the latest DHS supplemental appropriations bill- and that we expect him not to fund the camps in future DHS appropriations bills.
Our demands:
1. Close the Camps
2. Not one Dollar More, for this unnecessary and inhumane detention.
