Program Outline

11am-11:40am: Break for Food, Art and Action Fair
11:50am-1pm: Workshops
1:05pm-1:55pm: Closing Session
2:30pm-4pm: March to End Mass Detention
This county-wide forum provides a starting place for a conversation among individuals and families impacted by “mass detention.” It also gives students, activists and allies a chance to make connections across issues that are often seen as separate and even competing. By educating people about the shared logic of the prison and immigration systems,
Forced Out will increase the links among affected groups and help to create a more unified voice for policy change across all communities. Working together, everyday people can create a culture of solidarity and demand real changes that improve public safety while strengthening our society for all.
