    Context

    at least 20 people at the Adelanto ICE detention camp in California are also refusing food in protest of terrible conditions and lack of due process. Both the Adelanto and Delaney Hall camps are run by the for-profit company, GEO Group.

    These people are putting their own health at risk because it’s one of the few options available to them to protest. We Need Solidarity with the People Inside Delaney Hall and Adelanto

    Ways to Help

    listen to ans share Information on the Strike and Protests

    One of the first steps is to make more people aware of the situation and the realities of concentration camps in America. Spread information with your community and social circles.

    Demand Media Attention

    While New York and Los Angeles local outlets have run stories on these strikes, neither has quite attracted a national groundswell, and thus far little of the coverage has acknowledged that these aren’t isolated incidents. (There have been previous hunger strikes in the concentration camp archipelago,** including at the North Lake Processing Facility in Michigan last month.) Let’s urge them to cover the protests.

    Demand and Plan Action

    We’ve seen multiple members of Congress show up to Delaney Hall for inspections this weekend, but the Adelanto strike hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention, and there are still far too many of our elected officials who have refused to use their power to shine a light on what’s happening inside the camps. Especially if we’re from Southern California, New York or New Jersey, let’s reach out to our reps and demand they visit the hunger strikers. We can also tell them that it would be obscene to deliver billions more to ICE and CBP while they refuse to improve conditions in detention, and they must vote against the reconciliation bill. And more importanly, plan other methods of support.

    Sample Call Members of Congress:

    Find your representative here!

    Hello, my name is _________ and I am calling to urge [your representative name] to make a visit to the Adelanto Detention Center & Desert View Annex to support the hunger strikers. On May 19th, 20 men launched a hunger strike over the inhumane conditions and lack of medical care inside the facility. As a result, these courageous individuals have undertaken this strike out of the need to have their rights and dignity be respected. As a member of Congress, we urge you to make a visit to Adelanto & Desert View and meet with the hunger strikers to support their demands. Thank you.

    Sample Email for Members of Congress:

    Find your representative here!

    Hello, my name is _________ and I am a resident of [Insert your city]. I am contacting [your representative name] over the recent hunger strike launched by men at the Desert View Annex. This hunger strike was launched as a result of the inhumane, cruel conditions that many individuals inside Adelanto and Desert View Annex are facing. From inedible food to non-existent medical care - these claims were all verified in a recent report by the California Attorney General. As a member of Congress, you have the authority to visit and enter these detention facilities. We urge you to set up a visit to Adelanto and Desert View to take note of the horrendous conditions and meet with the hunger strikers to support their demands. Thank you
