NO ICE IN GEORGIA: Protest at Alliance Industrial

Join us February 23rd at warehouse owner Alliance Industrial office in Atlanta to say No ICE warehouses in Georgia! We can pressure Alliance Industrial, as the owners of the warehouse where the site is being proposed, to stop this sale and stop the creation of an ICE processing center in Oakwood.

On Monday February 9th in Oakwood, the Rainbow Collective and local community showed up in overwhelming numbers to stop the purchase of a warehouse for ICE. Neighbors packed the room and speaker after speaker stood up to say the same thing: this detention center does not belong in our town and it would drain the humanity and infrastructure of a close-knit community. The message from Hall County was clear from families, faith leaders, workers, and longtime residents do not want our region turned into a warehouse for human beings.

Now we need Atlanta to stand with us. What happens in Oakwood does not stay in Oakwood. A detention facility in Hall County affects immigrant families, businesses, and communities across Georgia, including those that don't live in northeast Georgia where there is a high percentage of immigrants and people likely to be profiled.

This moment is urgent and we need to support the momentum of the leaders who have much at risk. The sale has not closed and local elected officials are beginning to speak out. There is still time, but only if we raise our voices together.

When communities unite across city lines, corporations and politicians pay attention. Join us Monday, Feb 23 to show that Georgia will not quietly accept another expansion of detention infrastructure in our state. Oakwood has spoken. Now we need everyone that can travel or lives near Atlanta to help make sure The Rainbow Collective and local leaders are heard.
