In another call to action in response to the murder of Renee Good and so many other abuses of power, Indivisible has organized a virtual event to further combat ICE.
On Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. (Pacific), our senators will be inundated with phone calls demanding that congress defund ICE when current appropriations run out this month.
Sign up for this event on Mobilize.
For more information, the following is a copy of the call to action sent out via email:
Indivisibles,
You’re receiving this personal invite to our rapid response phonebank happening Wednesday, January 21 at 1pm ET/10am PT. We have the chance to put pressure on key senators to stop Trump’s unchecked power grab — will you help us?
What Happened?
Across the country, communities are living in fear as aggressive federal immigration enforcement tears families apart and puts innocent people at risk. From the use of chemical agents at protests to violent raids in our neighborhoods, ICE’s tactics have caused real harm and trauma, especially to the most vulnerable among us.
Why We Need You:
Right now, we have a critical opportunity to demand change. ICE and Border Patrol operate under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which is only funded through January 30. As Congress negotiates the next funding bill, we have the opportunity to push for meaningful restrictions and ensure that taxpayer dollars are not used to fuel abuse, intimidation, and violence.
That’s where you come in. On Wednesday, January 21, at 1pm ET/10am PT, we’re coming together to call voters in key states and urge them to contact their senators. These calls can make a real difference because senators need to hear that their constituents expect accountability, transparency, and humane policies.
