Right now, ICE is RACING to spend $38 BILLION to turn warehouses across the country into detention centers to cage over 100,000 members of our communities. And together we’re going to stop it.
As communities across the country speak out to oppose these massive new detention centers, Congress is pushing forward quickly with yet another bill to fund ICE’s terror. If we don’t stop them, they’ll rubber stamp another massive check to ramp up the mass detention of our immigrant neighbors.
We need to send a clear message: we MUST stop this mass detention. Add your name right now to demand Congress say NO to billions more for ICE and YES to communities, not cages.
Right now, ICE is already using our tax dollars to buy up and convert warehouses across the country into industrial-scale detention camps where people are caged in squalid, overcrowded conditions, often without medical care, adequate sanitation, or legal help.
Already, ICE is detaining more than 70,000 people and growing. And when ICE’s new wave of mass detention plans are fully in motion, they could cage over 100,000 people – including families and children.
The good news is that people across the country – even Republican officials – are fighting back. In Tennessee, ICE tried to build a mega-facility to detain up to 16,000 people. But thanks to relentless local organizing, residents forced ICE to cancel. Similar battles are erupting everywhere from Mississippi to New Hampshire.
On Saturday, April 25th, activists across the country will join forces for the Communities Not Cages National Day of Action. But despite this outcry, Congress is pushing ahead with a reconciliation bill to FORCE even more funding for ICE without ANY Democratic support – with NO reforms, and NO plan to rein ICE in.
This moment is urgent. We need thousands of us to raise our voices in the next 48 hours as lawmakers start the process of funneling billions MORE dollars into tearing families apart.
Will you add your name right now to demand Congress reject yet another MASSIVE giveaway to ICE? Our voices will be delivered straight to Hill offices to show just how powerful this movement is.
Across the U.S., everyday people are standing up — in their city councils to say: no more money for ICE detention camps. No blank checks for an agency that rips parents from their children and violates the basic rights of our neighbors.
We can stop this if enough of us stand up together.
When we organize, we win,
Our Revolution
