No matter who you are or where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome here.

Highlands REIT is a Chicago-based real estate company that wants to lease a Colorado private prison to ICE. They want to profit from the pain of people abducted from our communities and locked away in detention centers, like the one in Broadview, IL.

Highlands REIT also owns Sherman Plaza in downtown Evanston, where Target and Northwestern Medicine are located.

On Friday, March 20 at 12:00 pm, ICE detention survivors, immigrant justice activists, representatives from Evanston Interfaith Clergy and Leaders (EICL), and elected officials will gather in front of Sherman Plaza (1600 Sherman Ave) to denounce Highlands REIT's collaboration with ICE abductions.

Say NO to private prisons. Say NO to ICE abductions. Tell Highlands REIT: Stop profiting from others' pain!
