Watsonville Vigil for Children at the Border

This is an interfaith vigil for all the children being detained at the border in response to the recent crisis and U.S. government response. We are also kicking off a humanitarian aid campaign on this day to collect women's undergarment (new socks or underwear), and feminine hygiene products (maxi-pads, tampons). The items are mainly for women due to the unprecedented number of young women detainees at the border. Drop-off centers around SC County are being finalized.

Here is our coalition making this event possible: Mayor Karina Cervantez, Vice Mayor Felipe Hernandez, Lutheran Community Church, United Presbyterian Church of Watsonville, First Christian Church, Defensa de Mujeres/ Women’s Crisis Support, Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), People’s Democratic Club, Pajaro Valley Cesar Chavez Democratic Club, ONE Donor ONE Family
