Congress is planning to introduce a set of bills that will prevent the residents of DC from determining what’s best for our own community.

More than 1,000 cities and towns are now participating in the 287(g) program which authorizes local police to act as immigration agents.
It's time for Congress to cut funding to this program NOW.

Cut Funding to ICE's Dangerous 287(g) Program
ICE's 287(g) program turns local police into a weapon for ICE, meaning more racial profiling, more fear in our communities, and more people in immigrant detention. Tell Congress to cut funding to it now.

We’re suing the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for restricting access to housing grants based on politically-motivated criteria.
These federal funds exist to aid people experiencing homelessness — not to punish states, localities, and service providers trying to help.

Yesterday, a court blocked DHS from brutalizing journalists, protestors, and legal observers.
A judge found federal agents used excessive force against members of the press and public during immigrants' rights protests in Southern California this summer. This is a win for the First Amendment.

This kicks ass. Imagine walking around and seeing these up everywhere in shop windows. Imagine folks starting to question why some businesses have them and others don't. This is what building community wide defiance looks like. It's not everything, but it's something. And it's something you can do!
25 of the businesses said yes! It was great to talk to folks about what to do in the event of an ICE raid and give them a hotline to call if needed. It feels good to do something and talk to people.
