SAN DIEGO, CA -  Community and faith leaders will join border residents from across San Diego for a rally to speak up, not “shut up,” during a visit by Attorney General Sessions, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security General Kelly, and Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Johnson.

Not only have these high-ranking government officials refused to meet with border residents every time they have visited the border, but both Attorney General Sessions declared war on our communities and shockingly Sec. Kelly told Congress to “shut up” when it comes to concerns about border enforcement.

San Diegans will stand united to demonstrate that our communities deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.  Rally will push back against the wall, warmongering, and threats to our border community and way of life.
