National Day of Action
July 31, 2018
Take action on July 31st to #AbolishICE in your community!
In the last month, hundreds of thousands of people have risen up in outrage at the stories of parents separated from their children and internment camps for immigrant families fleeing violence and seeking asylum. The country has seen the cruelty of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), an institution whose purpose is to detain and persecute people for daring to dream of giving their children a better life.
With the demand to abolish ICE more popular than ever, we are calling for a National Day of Action on July 31 to target the government institutions and companies that help ICE function day in and day out. It is unacceptable for anyone to do business with ICE, to make their job easier, or to profit from the inhumane treatment of immigrants.
It is our moral duty to refuse to be complicit with ICE at every level and demand that the institutions we are part of do the same.
Our counties must end their contracts with ICE. Our mayors must end police department collaboration with ICE, ban ICE from questioning people on public transit or any city property, and warn the immigrant community in advance if ICE is planning a raid. The companies we buy from must stop developing technology and selling goods to ICE.
