SOAW Vigil at Stewart Co Dtn Cntr (11-19-13) : Dominique Diaddigo-Cash
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q72KDjYDxZIDominique is an organizing intern at SOA Watch this year. Dominique began with the organization in January 2013, after moving from Minneapolis, where he helped to facilitate the growth of an ecological movement for people of color in urban areas, protested with the American Indian Movement, and supported the actions of Occupy Homes. He first learned about SOA Watch after the coup in Honduras ousted Manuel Zelaya in 2009, and has been following us in the news and through our own media, as well as organizing teach-ins and distributing literature ever since. Dominique joined us at Ft. Benning for the first time in 2012, and is eager to gain greater hands-on experience in supporting our struggle.

Shutdown Stewart County Detention Center (11-22-13) : Christina Mansfiel...
Christina Mansfield is an activist for social justice, a scholar, and the granddaughter of immigrants. She is a 2013 Rockwood Fellow for a New California, and her community-based and academic work is focused on immigrant rights and alliance building. Prior to starting CIVIC, Christina co-founded Detention Dialogues, a volunteer-run immigration detention visitation and community awareness organization in California. Her vision for Detention Dialogues and CIVIC is shaped by her academic research on the criminalization of immigrant communities and her desire to apply this knowledge to social justice initiatives.

http://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/visitation
Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC) is a national nonprofit working to end the isolation and abuse of people in U.S. civil immigration detention through structured visitation combined with nationwide detention monitoring and advocacy. CIVIC was founded on the belief that true immigration detention reform can only be achieved through broad civic engagement. CIVIC is composed of an extremely diverse and experienced coalition of local community members, religious leaders, university students, and grassroots supporters. In 2012, CIVIC's co-founders Christina Fialho and Christina Mansfield were awarded the prestigious Echoing Green Fellowship, which is given to the world's top emerging social entrepreneurs. We invite you to explore our website, get to know us, and then join us to end isolation!
