Community Conversation on Refugee Women & Children in Texas
February 15, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
FreeEvent Navigation
Did you know that our government operates “refugee camps” in South Texas to detain women and children who fled violence in Central America? Karnes is expanding from 600 to 1,200 beds and Dilley will operate 2,400 beds at full capacity. The U.S. government has labeled women and children refugees “threats to national security,” setting bonds as high as $20,000. Detentions average 5 months at Karnes, resulting in children’s weight loss and psychological stress.
What you can do: Invite select leaders in your networks, especially women/moms to learn more, hear stories, and explore potential solutions.
When: Sunday, February 15, 2015 – 4:00-5:30pm
Where: Friends Meeting House – 7052 N. Vandiver Road – SATX 78209
Seating is limited, so please RSVP at www.refugeewomenandchildren.eventbrite.com
