Deaf/Disabled folks need to show up for #PrisonStrike2018.
At least 60% imprisoned folks are Disabled. They are targeted for no/lowest wages and other discrimination: no access to ed, programs, services, info, mental/healthcare.

The few methods of communicating info in immigration prisons (call ctrs, word of mouth) are not accessible for disabled/deaf folks.
Attorneys/advocates, please actively look for disabled folks during visits & ask your clients if they've seen disabled/deaf folks in their prisons.

Family separation KILLS

ADULTS! Why are we inviting cops into marginalized communities (e.g., camps/school/universities serving Disabled/Deaf Youth) to do "know your rights" trainings?
You're setting our Youth up for terrible injustice.
Please stop this & please intervene if you see any announcements.

This is absolutely outrageous!
This is so problematic I don't even know what to say.
A Deaf student was literally snatched up & caged--& will be caged for LIFE by this very dept. His kid--younger than these kids visits him in prison now!
I'm literally ill from this. SMGDH.
