We are fasting to call on the U.S. government to release, reunify, apologize, and make amends to all immigrant families kidnapped by ICE.
Wednesday, August 22 – Friday 24
10am – 8PM
Triangle Park, Siskiyou Blvd and Liberty St.
Calling for Community Support! Calling all the Mamas and the Papas and the children!
We are fasting to call on the U.S. government to release, reunify, apologize, and make amends to all immigrant families kidnapped by ICE. All people, especially children, deserve to be safe, free, and loved – not tortured, abused, and terrorized.
Ashland fasters will spend each day Wednesday – Friday at Triangle Park, with access to an in-door location (as we assess the smoky air situation). Supporters are invited to gather there daily, especially at at 10am, noon, and6pm. We will have music, readings of Shakespeare’s piece on immigration, and speakers.

In Triangle Park, rather than the Plaza, because if we choose to go without food for three days, we at least need to be on grass and under trees!
