Say NO to Trump’s Racist Threats!
Rally/Press Conference
5 PM, Thursday, Oct 25
Across from Trump Tower
Wacker Drive & Wabash Ave, Chicago
Thousands of Hondurans, refugees from the US backed dictatorship and its effects, have set out on foot to reach the US. US foreign policy is directly responsible for their plight with its long history of interference and its support for the 2009 coup and subsequent repressive governments, disastrous economic policy and most recently the 2017 fraudulent elections and ensuing bloody repression.
Now President Trump threatens to send the US army to the border against the thousands of families on the caravan, while he also continues the policy of family separation, criminalizaton and mass deportations. As immigrant communities, teachers, faith leaders and people of conscience we will not be silent.
We demand:
U.S. End Support for the Honduran Dictatorship
Stop Criminalization, Deportation and Family Separation
Respect the Human Rights of Refugees
Asylum for Refugees and No Border Wall!
