Dear John,

Everyone deserves dignity and justice. But in the United States, 2.3 million people are locked away in prisons, jails, and detention centers because of racist law enforcement—and a legal system whose only solution is violence and confinement.

We must work for a future without incarceration. Join AFSC and partners from Dec. 10 (International Human Rights Day) through Dec. 18 (International Day of the Migrant) for our national week of action to #FreeThemAll. Visit our #FreeThemAll webpage [link removed] to take part in events near you and see our online events below.

And remember to check out AFSC’s events page [link removed] for a full listing of upcoming events. As always, thank you for all the ways you support AFSC!

How can you support the call to divest for immigrant justice? AFSC’s Investigate Project has identified more than 60 companies with significant involvement in the militarization of the U.S.- Mexico border and in the surveillance and criminalization of immigrant communities. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the first-ever divestment list designed to promote immigrant justice and how you can take action today.
