Look for a new posting for Human Rights Altar in October 2021.
Human Rights Altar for Immigrants
Nov. 2019: Amnesty International Sacramento participated in Panteon de Sacramento with an altar honoring immigrants who died at US detention facilities.
^click photo above to see a whole gallery of altar photos.
Hundreds of visitors stopped at our altar to view individual stories, learn about the issue of detainee mistreatment and take action. Several hundred people signed a petition calling for a Congressional investigation of conditions for child detainees.
(The Panteón de Sacramento is an urban re-creation of Día de los Muertos that takes place in small village cemeteries throughout Mexico to honor the dead)
