RESOURCES

ABOLISH ICE

Among other atrocities, ICE has killed nine people this year: a Black man named Keith Porter, a Cambodian man named Parady La, a Mexican man named Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, a Nicaraguan man named Victor Manuel Diaz, Honduran men named Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz and Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, a Cuban man named Geraldo Lunas Campos, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. No person, regardless of citizenship status, deserves this.

  1. Tell your senators to not give any more money to ICE. Congress has until January 31st to figure out federal spending.

  2. Donate to activists on the ground in Minnesota or to mutual aid funds.

  3. Read the Who’s Behind ICE report by Mijente on which tech and data companies are behind ICE (This report is from 2018; there are more tech companies working with them now.)

  4. Research the corporate enablers of ICE

  5. Sign the pledge that many tech industry professionals have signed to keep ICE out of our cities

  6. Read up on how to block ICE in your city
