Want to Create Your Own Meetup for this Event?

This event is a listing — the concert, festival or activity itself. A meetup is your own smaller plan to go to it with other people: your date, your time, your meeting place. “A few of us are going, come with us.”

You don’t need permission and you don’t take anything over — this event isn’t changed at all. The venue, address and details are copied across, so you only pick when and where to meet.

As its organizer you get real tools to plan the when, where & what:

  • 📅 Member Availability — see which days and times everyone says they're usually free, so you know when to hold it.
  • 🎯 Member Interests & Cities — see everyone's interests and locations, so you know where to meet and what to include.
  • 🗺 Member Map — visually shows where most members are concentrated.
  • 🏷️ Activities & Voting — lists the tags and lets members vote on what they want to do.
  • 💬 Event Chat — everyone can discuss plans, who's bringing what, and last-minute changes.
  • RSVPs — who's coming, how likely, guest counts, and what they're looking forward to.
  • 🔗 Many Ways to Share or Invite — get the word out and grow attendance.

Your meetup starts hidden and set to “Only My Contacts”, with no date, so nothing is announced until you're ready. Nobody is notified when you create it. Once you set a date and switch Go Live? to Yes, it appears for people who marked themselves interested in this event.

ℹ️ About This Event

Join us in protest!
??Protest: Stop GEO Group's For-Profit ICE Prison in Our Backyard
??Saturday, September 26 · Noon – 2pm
??Traverse City Senior Center · 801 E. Front Street

*For any questions regarding event accessibility, please email comms@traverseindivisible.org.

60 miles south of Traverse City, the largest ICE detention facility in the Midwest is open for business. The North Lake Processing Center in Baldwin, Michigan — run by the GEO Group, a private, for-profit corporation — holds up to 1,800 people behind barbed wire.

More than 85% have never been charged with a crime.

One person has already died in custody. Dozens more have gone on hunger strikes demanding basic medical care and humane treatment.

GEO Group signed a $1 billion, 15-year contract with ICE to detain our neighbors as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation machine, and GEO's profits flow directly to administration officials who built that machine.

This is happening in our back yard, and most people in Northern Michigan still don't know it exists. We're working to change that.

Join Traverse Indivisible and the Immigrant Action Coalition (IAC) to raise awareness, and connect our community to the organizations doing the work on the ground right now.

IAC is visiting people inside, providing commissary support, offering legal help, and supporting neighbors when they are released. They will have representatives at the protest to answer your questions and show you exactly how you can help.

This is a stationary protest along public sidewalks on both sides of E. Front Street. Loaner signs will be available from the Good Trouble Assembly. Parking is available at the Senior Center or in the large lot on the north side of E. Front Street between the Senior Center and the Hagerty Center.

What to bring and know:

?Bring your own sign, or borrow one from Good Trouble Assembly
???Dress for the weather. Bring water.
??Stay on public sidewalks. Obey all traffic laws
??No tables or amplified audio
??No weapons of any kind, including legally permitted ones

Traverse Indivisible Peace & Safety volunteers will be on site, so look for the orange vests if you have questions, or need assistance.

As with all Traverse Indivisible events, this is a nonviolent, peaceful assembly. All participants are expected to act lawfully and de-escalate any confrontation.
