The next vigil is this Saturday, May 21st! CARPOOL from downtown Olympia (at the Olympia-Rafah Solidarity Mural) at 11 AM. SPECIAL VIGIL THIS MONTH, as we are first joining the Regional Clemency March & Rally for Leonard Peltier that is being held the same day. 12:00 PM: March for Justice: Portland Ave. Park (on Portland Ave. between E. 35th & E.

Take Portland Ave. exit off I-5 and head east) 1:00 PM: Ra ...lly for Justice: U.S. Federal Court House, 1717-Pacific Ave. Every month, Bridges Not Walls hosts a Solidarity Vigil at the Northwest Detention Center. The Northwest Detention Center is a for-profit prison, tucked away and hidden on the industrial tide-flat area of Tacoma, WA where over 1500 immigrants are detained. We offer support and solidarity to families and friends visiting loved ones inside. Many people face long drives to and from the detention center, long waits inside, and emotionally trying, no-contact visits. We provide coffee, food, conversation, and legal resources to those visiting. Every third Saturday of the month, a carpool leaves the Olympia Rafah Solidarity Mural on the corner of State and Capitol in downtown Olympia at 11 am. If coming from outside of Olympia, the Northwest Detention Center is located at 1623 East J Street Tacoma, WA 98421. After the Leonard Peltier March & Rally, we will send a group of people to the Northwest Detention Center to hold our regular vigil as others continue to remain in downtown Tacoma to hold a protest and hand out information on the Northwest Detention Center. If unable to attend these vigils, you can help by donating food, coffee, or tea. For more information, contact Jamie at jamie.alwine@gmail.com or 503.970.3399. Hope to see you there! PLEASE JOIN US!
