April 10: End Racial Profiling on Amtrak & Greyhound

Please join us on Friday April 10th from 1-3 pm for a prayer service in solidarity with immigrants & protest of Amtrak and Greyhound’s cooperation with DHS’s racial profiling. We will gather at the park outside of Newark Penn Station at the corner of Market St. and Raymond Plaza East.

Amtrak has agreed to cooperate with border inspections on a random basis within 75 miles of the border. Despite being provided with information that the agents conducting the inspections are engaging in racial profiling Amtrak & Greyhound continue to willingly cooperate with DHS. Both Greyhound and Amtrak have refused to meet with civil and human rights advocates about this issue.
