In Remembrance – and for Justice…

By email from Vallejo-Benicia Indivisible, July 27, 2026

Hello Vallejo-Benicia Resisters!

Please join us this coming Saturday as we stand together with our local partners in a solemn national call for truth, mourning, and accountability.

Important Schedule Note: This vigil will replace our regular weekly Stand Up for Democracy gathering this week. We encourage all members to attend and lend their voices to this critical cause.

Community Vigil

📅 Date & Time: Saturday, August 1 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
📍 Location: Parking Lot near El Barbas Restaurant
(Corner of Broadway & Tennessee St, Vallejo, CA)
🤝 Co-Hosts: Vallejo-Benicia Indivisible & Diaz & Loera Centro Latino

Why We Gather

We are coming together in remembrance of two community members whose lives were tragically cut short:

• Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: A devoted father shot and killed by an ICE agent in Houston, TX, while driving a work van with his crew on his way to a job site.
• Johan Sebastian Guerrero: A 26-year-old food delivery driver fatally shot by ICE in Biddeford, ME, while starting his workday in front of his wife and toddler.

Our Demands for Justice – Together, we will call on local, state, and national leaders to act on the following core demands:

• Independent Investigation: Demand full, transparent investigations independent of ICE, with public findings.
• Protect Witnesses: Immediately release those detained with Lorenzo and safeguard all witnesses from retaliation or deportation.
• End Local ICE Collaboration: Call on local and state leaders to end cooperation and agreements with ICE.
• Congressional Action: Require Congress to use its oversight and funding power to demand answers and accountability.

All community members, faith leaders, workers, and families are welcome. Please bring your friends, neighbors, and posters as we stand together in solidarity.
