Rev. Bernard Lafayette, a graduate of Nashville's American Baptist College who led the 1965 voting rights campaign in Selma, Alabama, died Thursday at age 85. LaFayette was a college roommate of the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis and returned to the college to serve as president in 1992.

Organize and Advocate to Abolish Detention

While you're at it, support & join groups organizing against ICE activities like Detention Watch Network, SURJ, local immigrant rights organizations, or your local community defense coalition today!

If even small, ruby-red towns can refuse to provide services to potential ICE concentration camps, yours can too!

Write an email to or speak at a meeting for your local town/city council demanding that they refuse to provide utilities or permits to ICE detention centers.
