Shut Down North Lake Correctional Facility
No For-Profit Immigrant Detention Camps in Michigan
GEO Group—the largest private prison corporation in the US—will attempt to open Michigan’s first for-profit detention center for immigrants in Baldwin, Michigan on October 1st.
GEO Group is an industry leader in human-rights abuses and deaths at its facilities. A federal judge described their facilities as, “a cesspool of unconstitutional and inhuman acts and conditions”.
GEO has been sued multiple times for forcing detainees to work for food, water and toiletries.

March for Black Women Detroit is a rally inspired by M4BW which took place in D.C., organized by Black Women's Blueprint.
Unfortunately, our issues are often pushed to the background in the Black and feminist community. March for Black Women is a space for Black women to be heard. It is a space for us to be celebrated.
Speakers and performers will be announced soon. Inbox us if you are interested in being apart of this!

**Sign up to take action: bit.ly/DetroitDebateAction**
Immigrant workers are the backbone of the Michigan economy. Industries like agriculture, construction, and manufacturing depend on immigrant labor. Right now, the Immigrant families are not being treated with respect & dignity. They are constantly separated & put in detention. Michigan immigrant families deserve immediate access to Driver’s Licenses and immediate legalization.
