The Lights for Liberty Eureka: Vigil to End Concentration Camps attracted more than 200 attendees to a candlelight vigil at the Humboldt County Courthouse at sunset Friday evening.
This local vigil, intentionally using the term “concentration camps,” was one of two held countywide as part of Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Detention Camps, a nationwide event Friday to protest conditions faced by refugees at the Mexican border, according to Terry Supahan, executive director of True North Organizing Network that organized the event.
