FW: Please make a donation - Resist the Raids Community Funds

Detainees are on a hunger strike! We need donations so that detainees can call us for free and connect us with their loved ones!

Detainees at Suffolk Detention Center in Boston have been going on hunger strikes for the last two weeks to protest the unsanitary and undignified living conditions. Resist the Raids is working with the families and friends of the detainees to support their organizing inside the detention center.

Please read Boston Globe article here:

In order to support this organizing, we need funds so that we can receive calls from the detainees. Phone calls from the detention center are expensive, so much so that often times detainees can not afford to call their families. We also needs funds so that families like Clayton's and Cila's have transportation money to join us at rallies and so that we can meet family members and bring them to visit their loved ones in detention during visiting hours.

The most urgent need is money so that we will never miss a call from the detainees and organize with them and their families, support legal, media, social media and organizing needs, and support the detainees hunger strike and help their families run stop deportation campaigns.
