Immigrants Rights Advocates Gather Outside Newark Penn Station


About 75 people gathered outside Penn Station in Newark on Good Friday in solidarity and support of immigrants’ right to travel. Below are some pictures of the event.

Thank you to everyone who turned out and who helped organize, but there is more work to do. We need to keep the pressure on. Tell Amtrak and Greyhound to Respect Immigrant Rights & STOP TURNING RIDES INTO RAIDS!

Call Amtrak and Greyhound and tell their presidents to:

· GIVE REFUNDS TO FAMILIES THAT WERE DETAINED WHILE USING THEIR SERVICES

· WARN PEOPLE THAT THEY WILL FACE AN IMMIGRATION INSPECTION WHEN USING THEIR SERVICES

· STOP THIS UNDERHANDED COLLABORATION ALTOGETHER

· PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE

Amtrak: Mr. Alexander Kummant, President: 202-906-3000

Greyhound: Dave Leach, President: 972-789-7000
