Immigration Justice groups in Grand Rapids to host a People’s Assembly this Friday

On May 16, Movimiento Cosecha Michigan and GR Rapid Response to ICE will be hosting a meeting to talk about upcoming actions and campaigns to further the struggle for immigrant justice.

Even if you didn’t participate in the recent May Day march, the Cosecha cultural event or the Salsa Shutdown, you are more than welcomed to attend the People’s Assembly.

I asked Cosecha organizer Gema Lowe about the importance of the People’s Assembly, and she said:

“Movimiento Cosecha Michigan in collaboration with GR RR to ICE are organizing the People’s Assembly where we will discuss the next steps on the immigrant resistance.

Our Immigrant communities are getting organized across the country when our love ones are getting kidnapped by ICE. The greater GR area won’t be the exception and we will continue fighting for immigrant rights.

We say:

YES to Papers for All

YES to driver’s licenses in Michigan 

YES to Sanctuary 

and

NO to REGISTRATION 

NO to DEPORTATIONS

NO to ICE and DETENTION CENTERS”

The People’s Assembly will begin at 5pm in the Linc Up Gallery, which is right next to the Linc Up office, located at 341 Hall St. SE in Grand Rapids.
