“BOSTON - More than 30 vigils are planned across Massachusetts - including one in Framingham - for Friday, in connection with a national campaign protesting the conditions in migrant detention centers.

Immigrant, religious and labor groups, along with other advocacy organizations, throughout the country are holding ‘Lights for Liberty: A Vigil to End Human Concentration Camps’ demonstrations, with ‘key events’ planned for El Paso, Texas; San Diego, California; Homestead, Florida; New York City; and Washington, D.C.

The Framingham Lights for Liberty event takes place starting at 7 p.m. Friday outside the Memorial Building at 150 Concord St. Following speeches by community leaders, advocates and impacted persons, a silent candlelight vigil will take place at 9 p.m.”
