After 40+ years of living in the USA, and calling Quincy, MA home, Lan Le is now facing deportation to Vietnam - a country she and her family escaped as refugees.

On July 23rd, Governor Healey announced changes to the Emergency Assistance (EA) family shelter system that will force children and their families out with no safe place to sleep at night. Many nights over the past week children and pregnant people have slept outside. Others are approaching being kicked out of Temporary Respite Center spots. We are working with our Housing and Immigration Justice partners to take action to restore the Right to Shelter, and to support those who are most impacted. You can learn more about the MANY ways to get involved here, including: 

• Calling or emailing the Gov

• Showing up in the evening to support those forced to sleep in train stations to provide blankets, water, and support as needed

• Donating

• Hosting in your home

• Hosting in your congregation

• Joining an in person action

• ... and more!

Action 1: HDR is the architecture firm who has the contract to design the $50 million women's prison in MA. They have ignored every attempt by directly impacted women and community members to share our concerns and vision of what different looks like. L et HDR know they should drop the DOC and work with directly impacted women to build up people not prisons! Take action here! 

Action 2:  We encourage you to please sign up for an upcoming stand out in November and December! In one hour, you can have a lot of conversations and catalyze even more resistance to the new women's prison! No experience required - we will train you and work together as a team! Sign up here!
