Come to a prayer vigil for the families who have been targeted and whose rights have been violated in the recent raids on Philadelphia Taxi Drivers. An attack against one of us is an attack against all people struggling to survive in this city.

For Our Brothers & Sisters Victimized in PPA Immigration Raids
Wednesday, July 7th
12-2pm
PPA Headquarters, 3101 Market St.
On Wednesday June 30th, the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) authorities lured 26 taxi drivers to PPA’s office on the pretext that they were paying drivers for past credit card transactions. When drivers arrived at 2501 S. Swanson Street, they were immediately thrown against a wall, handcuffed, and placed in a warehouse. Some of the drivers were released upon showing documentation, however four drivers still remain in custody.
