Ciro: we don't want a wall

Today in coalition with Grassroots Leadership, NO WALL-Big Bend and Southwest Workers’ Union staff met with lead staff of Congressman Ciro Rodriguez to pressure the representative to take a stand and action against the border wall and family detention.

We presented our letter of recommendations and demands, which include, the representative withdrawing his co-sponsorship of the SAVE Act, that expands through legislation family detention centers and supports more border walls. Additionally, we emphasized the need for the representative to create a public written statement denouncing the wall and actively oppose legislation that is faulty and violent to our communities regardless of political pressure.

Upon leaving we stressed to office director, Cesar Blanco, that we would push our campaign forward and will be outside his office next Thursday (July 17th) to hold a press conference and rally to bring more support to these issues.
