From the #ShutDownBerks Coalition (https://www.facebook.com/ShutDownBerksCoalition/):
We demand that those women currently detained at the Berks County Residential Center be released and for the center to be repurposed into a space that can provide services to the surrounding community. No transfers to new prisons!

Sample script:
The closing of the Berks County Detention Center is a victory for immigrants, the Berks community and Pennsylvania. This is wonderful news, but we need to ensure those currently detained are released. Do not transfer these women to other prisons. Make sure they are freed.
