NOTN- Juneau for Democracy and the ReSisters held a peaceful pop-up protest in Juneau yesterday evening in solidarity with nationwide demonstrations which are being held due to recent federal immigration enforcement actions.
Juneau for Democracy invited residents to gather at The Whale for what the group called a candlelight vigil, to show support for people protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across the country.
The event is part of a wave of protests that have followed several shootings and lethal confrontations with ICE agents, particularly in Minneapolis.
Protestors sang “This Little Light of Mine” in the lightly falling snow, posting on their social media to bring songs, poems, love and determination to share.
