Freedom Ride Kickoff Press Conference: A Journey from New Jersey to Louisiana where Mahmoud Khalil is being held

note: I’ve asked the organizers if there will be a livestream and will add a link if I get an affirmative answer. afp

🎤🚌💨 Join a powerful caravan of faith leaders, organizers, and cultural workers as we launch the Freedom Ride from Newark to Jena, Louisiana—where Mahmoud Khalil is unjustly detained. In the face of the Trump administration’s deepening assaults on immigrants, workers, and democracy, we’re hitting the road to fight back.

Be there at Delaney Hall Detention Center in Newark for our kickoff press conference before we depart to begin the Freedom Ride.
