We are The Fifty Fifty One Arizona—the fire in the desert, the voice that won’t be silenced, and the line drawn in the sand that says: this ends with us.

We strive to funnel digital leads into real world activists, and we need your help to do that.

We need people who can write email blasts, blog articles, web content, tutorials for volunteers, scripts, and instruction sheets to keep our volunteers rolling along with ease.
On April 16, join 10,000 moms going live to shut down Dilley—if you’ve been seeing what’s happening and asking what you can do, this is it. Sign up and get the toolkit.
Right now, mothers and children are being held inside the Dilley detention center after being taken from their homes and stripped of their dignity.
Families inside are reporting undrinkable water, rotten food, and children sinking into depression behind locked doors. Kids who should be in school are instead living in conditions no child should ever experience.
The children at Dilley are being held far beyond what is legally allowed. Under the law, they should not be detained longer than 20 days. But hundreds have been held for weeks, even months. Some for over 100 days.
100 days is a lifetime for a toddler.
This is not just wrong—it’s inhumane.
And when those children protested, they made one thing clear: they need someone on the outside to listen—and to act.
We’re answering that call.
On April 16, we’re creating a moment that cannot be ignored.
10,000 moms going live at the same time to:
- Tell the truth about the conditions inside Dilley
- Lift up the voices of children who are being held there
- Demand: Shut down Dilley. Shut down all family detention. Bring every child home
This action builds toward moms showing up at Dilley on April 18—and a larger mobilization heading into Mother’s Day.
JOIN US
We are doing what those walls were built to stop:
making sure the voices of these children are heard everywhere.
If you’re a mom and you know this is wrong—
if you felt something reading this—
this is your moment to act.
Go live. Speak out. Stand with these families.
Be one of 10,000 moms taking action together.
START TIME: The event starts at 7:30 am. You are free to show up anytime, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce yourself. We end promptly at 8:30 am.
GATHERING POINT: We gather on the WEST side of Central, just north of Holly. Please DO NOT protest on the east side. Immigrants have appointments in this building, and we don’t want to prohibit them from what they are required to do.
MESSAGING & FOCUS
One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselves. Ideally, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars:
- Defending democracy and the rule of law
- Encouraging voting
- Protecting neighbors and communities (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, workers, and veterans)
This approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s purpose, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity.
For this location, try to make your messaging specific to immigration rights, human rights, and other anti-ICE slogans.
Flags, banners, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Some blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious, humor and camaraderie matter.
RhRRs are peaceful, public events. Most attendees don’t hide their faces, though some do; participate at your comfort level. Photos and videos are commonly shared on social media, but you can ask posters to remove accidental appearances.
RECOMMENDED PARKING: Parking is a bit of a challenge. Some of us park on Holly St, directly across from the ICE Field Office. We haven’t had issues before, but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned, take the light rail.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION: 🚌 Route 1 🚊 B Line
SPECIAL NOTES: 📣 Other groups demonstrate here as well, and not all of them are as committed to peaceful protesting. Stay alert, and be mindful of the immigrants entering and exiting the facility.
🥵 During hot weather, shade is limited. Bring water, sun protection, and consider a portable chair.
Coffee & Community is a great opportunity to get together with like-minded friends, discuss the news of the day, and take action to protect our democracy. It’s also an opportunity to work on social service projects that support people in our community who are less fortunate. So far this year we’ve donated shoes to Soles4Souls.org, donated tuition support for talented DACA students, donated clothing to families in Ukraine, and delivered life-sustaining Karma Bags to people experiencing homelessness.
Join us EVERY Thursday at 12 noon MST for “WHAT’S THE PLAN” Q & A Zoom meeting. Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg will provide insights about what is happening, what’s working to influence the administration in Washington, and answer questions about next steps.
