No More Deaths in Detention!!!<BR/><BR/>We need your support! Support the Family of Valery Joseph!!! Help Needed for Funeral Costs...<BR/><BR/>On June 20, 2008, 23 year-old Valery Joseph was found dead at Glades Detention Center, a South Florida County jail that houses Immigration detainees. While organizations and advocates have called for an investigation into his death, strong concerns remain about the way ICE and Glades County officials handled the death. Valery died just short of his 24th Birthday.<BR/><BR/>But the family of Valery Joseph has a more pressing demand... making sure Valery is laid to rest with dignity. Although the funeral for Valery Joseph took place this past Saturday, the family had to take out excessive loans to pay for the funeral service. We are asking for people to donate whatever they can to the family of Valery Joseph to enable them to pay for funeral costs. Let this young man rest in peace.<BR/><BR/>Please make checks out directly to the family (Jaqueline Fleury). <BR/><BR/>Checks may be mailed to<BR/><BR/>Florida Immigrant Coalition <BR/>(Attn: Subhash )<BR/>83-25 NE 2nd Avenue<BR/>Miami, Florida 33138<BR/><BR/>You may also make a donation with a credit card online (via Chipin and Paypal) at<BR/>http://subhash.chipin.com/funeral-for-valery-josephImmigration News Briefshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05204350171360840236noreply@blogger.com
