On Friday July 12th, 2019, Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps, will bring thousands of people to locations worldwide as well as to concentration camps across the country, into the streets and into their own front yards, to protest the inhumane conditions faced by migrants.
Key events are planned in El Paso, Texas, where migrants are being housed in outdoor conditions under a bridge with no running water for months at a time; Homestead, FL, at a migrant child detention facility that has caused mass abuse and neglect; in San Diego, near the point of entry site from Tijuana; in New York City, at Foley Square, where hundreds of migrants are processed through detention a day; and in Washington, DC, in Lafayette Park, to demand action from Congress to end concentration camps and impeach the President. Legislators, activists, organizers, and members of impacted communities will speak prior to the candlelight vigil.
Across this country, we have witnessed acts against people fleeing persecution many of us thought we would never see in modern times.
At Trump’s concentration camps, teen mothers and babies are held outdoors in “dog pounds.” We have witnessed the sick and elderly confined to “icebox” rooms for weeks at a time. Unbelievably, children as young as 4 months are taken from their parents, medicine is confiscated, and medical care withheld, and LGBTQ and disabled individuals are held in solitary confinement.
“The Trump administration’s immigration policies and detention camps meet the United Nations’ definition of genocide and crimes against humanity,” said Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin, lawyer, activist and organizer. “Congress is refusing to stop the president and his policies. We cannot allow these atrocities to be perpetrated in our name.”
Perhaps most terrifying, refugees are beginning to be moved onto military grounds, where there will be a lack of oversight from the media, lawyers, and human rights monitors.
“Now is the time for every person to stand up and say, ‘We will not accept this!’ No more hesitating. No more denial. No more fear. We need to be bold, and loud, and unrelenting. That’s the only way we can stop this,” said Kristin Mink, activist and organizer.
LIGHTS FOR LIBERTY:

COALITION TO CLOSE THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS-SAN DIEGO
Germany made the concentration camps for all opposing the Nazis-fascist state. They were built by the IBM Capitalist Monopolies of the world to destroy the German Communists numbering two million so they then could launch German Aggressive war to destroy the USSR- Union of Soviet Socialist Republics the longest lasting Workers State yet on Earth, and their supporters globally. The countries of Canada, UK- United Kingdom, and the U.S.A. supplied the Nazis regime with Strategic War Materials after the 1933 Nazis coup d' etat in Germany. Those countries did that while refusing to pay a livable wage to their own working classes at home and abroad making the depression worse.
Concentration camps in Germany murdered the two million communists, socialists, unemployed, women liberation organizers and others such as a peaceful Jewish religious people and other religious peoples that opposed wars.
The plan the UK and USA supported was done and financed to create a Germany that would destroy the U.S.S.R. who was refused a Mutual Defense Pact in case of German Attack and Britain, France, and USA refuse to sign a mutual defense pact with the condition if any of them were attacked by Aggressive Germany then all would dismantle German Aggression.
They, the big three-- then proceeded to keep sending war materials to Germany and the UK told Hitler to take the Czechoslovakia Skoda Armament, the biggest armament in Europe at the times so Hitler would then have the biggest military machine in the world, and Hitler agreed he would indeed then attack Russia. When he took Skoda Arms UK Prime minister gave the Hitler regime eight billion dollars to continue to attack Russia. The German generals refused to do so, because they said that they would not again fight again on two fronts as in WWI. So he turned and conquered Europe first, and then proceeded to attack Russia in June 22 1941. By this time and since 1933 the Western Powers were well aware of the plan that Hitler was to carryout and were supporting with machinery and finances to do so. Also they were well aware of the policy of concentration camps that IBM- International Business Machines had built so Hitler could attain power in Germany.
