Protesters shut down traffic in Boston over detention centers
The Boston Globe’s Zoe Greenberg and Danny McDonald report on a march in Boston that included about 1,000 Jewish activists and others protesting immigrant detention centers. Many protesters wore Jewish prayer shawls and head coverings and were part of a nationwide push of young Jews advocating for immigrant rights across the country. Greenberg and McDonald write, “Stosh Cotler, the CEO of Bend the Arc, a national group of progressive Jews, said Jewish activists draw on a long history of migration, asylum-seeking, and detention when they fight for migrants’ rights today.”
