Over 50 local, state, national and international organizations have endorsed and/or are participating in this Walk and above-referenced events.The objectives of the Walk and surrounding events are to call for an end to the human indignity of racism, racial profiling, raids, indefinite detentions, deportations, and racially fomented hate crimes.We must break the silence of the inhumane treatment of people living within the borders of the United States by a program of the Department of Homeland Security (“Operation End Game”).Several law enforcement agencies at both the county and federal level are supporting the Department’s “End Game” project. Every day undocumented immigrant families are being terrorized, brutalized and their children are torn from them as a result of this project.We must break the silence of this policy NOW.For the latest information and details:www.walk4humandignity.com.
