ACTION ALERT:
‼️ URGENT ‼️
We are putting out a very urgent call for interpreters or lawyers with multilingual language skills!
If you are available, please join us TODAY for a legal visit at Northwest State Correctional Facility
WHEN: 2-6pm, THIS AFTERNOON 11/5 WHERE: Northwest Facility, Swanton VT
You will be provided with templates and on-site supervision.
The VT Department of Corrections has been rolling back the operational systems that we need to provide functional legal assistance with our volunteers in facilities every week.
ICE has detained a record breaking 17 people at Northwest today, and we want to ensure that these individuals do not suffer as we work to solve system access issues at the state level.
Please contact detained@vaapvt.org to RSVP. Please RSVP and do NOT show up if you have not RSVPed and received a response confirming that your attendance is expected.
