Join the NoVA Abolition Working Group on Saturday, April 12 from 2:30 to 4pm at Arlington Central Library and online for a hybrid film screening and panel discussion of The Facility, a documentary about the organizing led by migrants detained in the Irwin County Detention Facility at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizer Nilson Barahona, featured in the film, will be part of the panel. The event is free to the public.
Whether or not you can attend, if you are financially able, NoVA Abolition is encouraging supporters to make a donation to Free Them All and LaColectiva’s Liberation Fund. This fund supports migrants affected by systems of detention and deportation with needs such as commissary, post-release support, and more. You can donate through Venmo @LaColectiVA with the note “Liberation fund.” *This event is not sponsored by Arlington Public Library. RSVP for the film screening here.
