Demand Governor Newsom Use Emergency Powers to Free All Immigrants in Detention in California

There are 38,000 undocumented immigrants in detention right now across the country. 38,000 people trapped in deadly close quarters without access to medical care. 38,000 people in the exact conditions that allow COVID-19 to spread. Right now in California, well over 6,000 immigrants are being held in detention centers without adequate health and sanitation measures in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Most of these centers are run by private corporations, and some are in county and municipal jails. In the past weeks we’ve seen as the immigrants inside have taken to sit-ins and hunger strikes to sound the alarm as public health and safety concerns have been confirmed: dozens of people inside ICE detention centers have tested positive for COVID-19, and it’s clear that many more cases are being covered up or not tested. Yet conditions remain unchanged.This is why activists, immigrants, doctors, lawyers and lawmakers are coming together to form the Free Them All coalition.

We are extremely concerned about a deadly catastrophe that is brewing and are calling on Governor Newsom to use his emergency powers to release all immigrants from these detention centers before COVID-19 turns them into death camps. During a state of emergency, California law provides the Governor with the authority to #FreeThemAll. What is currently lacking from Governor Newsom is the political will to use that authority. Please join us by e-mailing Gov. Newsom to urge him to use his emergency powers to free all immigrants held in detention in California. You can use this link to easily do so!

Please join us also in making calls and tweeting at Gov. Newsom this Thursday, April 23rd.

English Call In Script:

To Governor Newsom:

Phone Number: [phone]  Hello, my name is ______, and I live in _____, and I am calling to urge Governor Newsom to use his emergency powers to all immigrants currently being held in detention in California. Governor Newsom has taken many crucial steps to address the needs of the public during this pandemic, but many immigrants continue to languish in deadly detention centers right here in our state. Now is the time to take critical and bold action to save people’s lives. Please use your emergency powers to release all immigrants who are currently detained.

Español: Hola, me llamo _____, y vivo en _____, y estoy llamando para implorar al Gobernador Newsom que use sus poderes de emergencia para liberar a todos los inmigrantes que están detenidos actualmente en California. El Gobernador ya ha hecho algunas cosas muy importantes para ayudar al público durante este crisis, pero muchos inmigrantes siguen sufriendo en centros de detención mortales aquí en California. Ahorita hay que tomar acción crítica para salvar las vidas de personas en detención. Por favor, use sus poderes de emergencia para liberar a todos los inmigrantes que están detenidos actualmente en California.

Tweet: @GavinNewsom   @g_d_silva   @Melissa_Immel   @Ann_OLeary   we urge you to save countless lives by using your emergency powers to free all immigrants detained in CA. You have power here, please use it. #FreeThemAll  Still waiting to meet:

Please also join us at a COVID-safe car rally in San Francisco this Thursday at 12pm if you can. In order to prevent the spread of disease, only drive with people who you live with and stay in your car the entire time. DO NOT CARPOOL WITH PEOPLE FROM OTHER HOUSEHOLDS OR GET OUT OF YOUR CAR. If you are living in a different city and have capacity to organize cars around your local city hall, please do so and share pics!!

If you can’t make it in person you can help by calling the governor, tweeting, and by signal boosting this post so that people who live closer can find out about it. Thank you!

Would you be comfortable sharing the name of the silicone brush you purchased? I have fine motor issues and that would be helpful but I get really anxious about shopping online since I can't physically hold it. If not, that's totally okay too!

It’s from the brand called Heeta. I have their silicone scalp massage brush and silicone body brush. Both can be used wet or dry. Both are on Amazon. They are made really well (and I’m really fussy when it comes to body care products as I am known to utterly destroy things unintentionally).

Vaccinate your kids. I’m all for freedoms but this isn’t a freedom that we should have.

A freedom should never impinge on the freedom of another person.

They were way way too loud too and also caused sensory overload.

I will take this gym before I leave.

If you're in Nashville and love Pokemon Go and animals, get a season pass to the Zoo. Every exhibit is a pokestop and there are multiple gyms inside. Plus there are multiple pokestops in the parking lot.

[autisticeducator2]

Must find how to get one of these too.

[autisticeducator2]

I have never seen a level 9 gym before. And by the time I left, it was taken over by team Valor. I was only there for 6 days.

[autisticeducator2]

I swear these guys and their evolved version are everywhere in Tennessee.

[autisticeducator2]

I want one of these too. Must figure out how to get one.

I retook Bingo Church (again), this time with Flareon. But someone else added a Magmar to help hold onto it. I really want a Magmar now.

[autisticeducator2]

Had to retake Bingo Church with Vapereon. All while I was eating lunch next door.

I took what I have dubbed "Bingo Church" with Ivysaur
