Vigil & Procession In Memory of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo & Johan Sebastian Guerrero

Saturday, July 25

10am-12pm, YWCA - 21 1st St, Troy, NY 12180

We will hold a vigil and procession in memory of Lorenzo and Johan this Saturday in Troy, NY

On Tuesday, July 7, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, Texas. He was a dad driving a work van with his crew when he was gunned down

Then on Monday, July 13, ICE unleashed the same horrific tactics, fatally shooting 26-year-old Johan Sebastian Guerrero when they stopped his vehicle in Biddeford, Maine. His wife and toddler were forced to witness his murder

Lorenzo and Johan were beloved members of their communities who were killed on their way to work- one to a job site, the other to start his day as a food delivery driver. Both killed by ICE agents spreading fear, sowing chaos and inflicting violence

We mourn the tragic murders of these two fathers and the countless other lives ended by ICE's violence and terror. We stand firmly with their families and coworkers. We will tell the truth about what happened and demand accountability

Absolutely no government agency should be allowed to kill, intimidate witnesses, or operate without independent oversight
