Chaparral, N.M. – NM CAFe will host faith leaders from across the country for a week long Border Encounter. LA RED and LIVE FREE, the immigrant rights and gun violence and mass incarceration programs of Faith in Action, are joining area community and faith leaders to stage a public action at the Otero County Detention Center in support of ending privatized detention and incarceration on Thursday, January 23, 2020 at 3 p.m. MT. Here is a statement from NM CAFe:
“We are bringing our campaigns LA RED and LIVE FREE together to share this experience to deepen our solidarity work, and because both of our campaigns strive to end the mass detention and mass incarceration of brown and black people,” said Richard Morales, policy and program director of LA RED. “We need a new story to tell about our country, one where no matter your color, creed, or class, we all have inherent value and our policies must reflect that.”
