Actions Speak Louder

HELP STOP THE BUILDING OF A 1000 PERSON BED IMMIGRANT DETENTION CENTER IN FARMVILLE

http://anarchymo.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/help-stop-immigrant-detention-center-in-farmville/

From the site:

So, the Town of Farmville and a private company called Immigrant Centers of America are trying to build a 1,000 bed immigrant detention center in Farmville. ICA has zero experience with prisons or detention centers. Their previous experience is constructing Arby’s and BP Gas stations. This project has already received over 500,000 dollars from the State Tobacco Commission. This is not a done deal, the project can still, and will be stopped.

You can help stop it by sending an email to some of the folks involved, letting them know you think it is a bad idea. I’ve put a list of emails below, that includes people on town council, people from the VA Tobacco Comission, people from DHS, and people who run ICA.

They have pre-written letters and the email addresses of folks to send it to - super easy, can make an impact.. not a tough decision, folks.
