The living conditions at Delaney Hall, an ICE detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, are inhumane. Over 300 people currently held at the detention center have joined a labor and hunger strike to protest the conditions, which include rotten food, lack of medical care, and unsanitary living facilities.

We're inviting the entire diocese to join those inside the facility in a solidarity fast, by contributing what you would spend on food in one day back to the families of those who are detained. (For example, if you spend $40/day on food - donate $40).

Donations will go to family members whose lives have been devastated by having a loved one (sometimes a breadwinner) detained. The families have asked for support for groceries, rent, and other basic needs.
