Hi Friends,

The ICE outrages are escalating, with brazen assaults on families, teachers, students, and children.

We're building the movement to remove ICE and all armed troops from our streets through support for events¹ like today's in New York,  communications² with signers of our Pledge of Noncooperation with Mass Deportation³, lobbying of states to unmask ICE⁴, and our campaign to abolish ICE altogether⁵.

Trump is backing the ICE invasion with armed troops of all varieties, including Border Patrol and National Guard.

We need to back the courageous and creative nonviolent resistance with everything we've got, flooding legislators with emails, turning out crowds for events, and producing teach-ins and resources.

We can do more with your help. 

We have no military or corporate contracts, don't expect them, and would not accept them. We depend on you.

Thanks for all you do!

In Solidarity,
The RootsAction Team
