- Example 1: In Feb. 2016, due to the organizing of Pennsylvanians across the state in the Shut Down Berks Coalition, the @Pennsylvania Department of Human Services vowed to not renew the license of the Berks County Detention Center for use of a family detention. That decision was appealed by Berks County, and while the case awaits a final decision by the Dept. of Human Services, the center continues to operate and accept new families. We want to ensure that no families are incarcerated or separated to incarcerate individuals in a family. Call @Governor Tom Wolf (717-787-2500) and PA DHS Secretary Miller (717-787-2600) today, and demand that they revoke BCRC’s license and issue an Emergency Removal Order, thus ensuring no new families can be incarcerated in the center. #ShutDownBerks #EndFamilyDetention #EndFamilySeparation #Not1More
- Example 2: @Governor Tom Wolf says he cares about immigrants. Yet, he’s taken minimal action to free immigrant families from an illegal and immoral family prison in PA. Call today and tell Wolf he must work with Secretary Miller of the @Pennsylvania Department of Human Services to immediately #EndFamilyDetention in Berks County by revoking its license and issuing an Emergency Removal Order. #ShutDownBerks #EndFamilySeparation #Not1More
- Example 3: @Governor Wolf has known for nearly two years that his administration could remove families from the abuse and neglect that they have been enduring in the Berks County Family Detention Center. The Governor’s administration has done the bare minimum to right the immoral and illegal detention of immigrant families. Families continue to be abused under the state’s watch. Governor Wolf is up for reelection in 2018. We need a Governor who goes beyond words, someone who takes action for the immigrant community. If Wolf wants to count on the progressive vote then he needs to work with Secretary Miller of @Pennsylvania Department of Human Services to revoke BCRC’s license and end new families being brought to the center by issuing an Emergency Removal Order. #ShutDownBerks #EndFamilyDetention #EndFamilySeparation #Not1More
- Example 4: It’s time for @Governor Tom Wolf to #EndFamilyDetention and #ShutDownBerks! Call the Governor (717-787-2500) and Secretary Miller of @Pennslyvania Department of Human Services, (717-787-2600), and demand that they use their authority to close the family detention center in Berks County by revoking the center’s license and issuing an Emergency Removal Order. #Not1More #EndFamilySeparation
