Help us bring families to Alabama to visit their loved ones and break the isolation at the Etowah immigrant detention center!
The Etowah County Detention Center is one of the most infamous and isolated facilities in the massive immigration detention system. Prolonged and indefinite detention is the norm at Etowah, where detainees are held for months or even years without court review while fighting their deportations. Many Etowah detainees are longtime U.S. residents whose families and home communities are hundreds or thousands of miles from Gadsden, AL, where the center is located. And many detainees’ family members cannot afford the high costs of travel to visit their loved ones, even when they are in dire need of emotional, medical, and other support.
Help us break the isolation at Etowah and reunite children, partners, parents and others with their loved ones behind bars:
We will be documenting fund recipients’ travel to Etowah and their experiences visiting detained family members—follow the #ShutDownEtowah campaign on social media for updates.
If you have a loved one detained at Etowah, please contact Adelante at 205-317-1481 or info@adelantealabama.org to inquire about applying for travel support from the Fund.
