“Week after week, I’ve come here, and I’ve felt stronger. I feel love, I feel empathy, compassion from absolute strangers.”
– Arianne Betancourt, National Organizer, Freedom Vigils at the Workers Circle
Mother Jones featured the story of how the Freedom Vigils outside so-called Alligator Alcatraz helped Arianne Betancourt, the Workers Circle’s newest organizer, find community, purpose, and strength after her father was taken by ICE last year.
