🚨 La presencia y las acciones de ICE están aumentando en todo Connecticut. Nuestras comunidades necesitan estar informadas, preparadas y unidas.

En tan solo cuatro días, las redes comunitarias de respuesta rápida han documentado 94 detenciones confirmadas en todo el estado, incluyendo 64 en Danbury, 11 en Bridgeport y 8 en Stamford.

En Bridgeport, la actividad de ICE se ha extendido a lugares donde las familias deberían sentirse seguras—afuera de una escuela, una tienda de comestibles y un banco de alimentos. Estos son lugares donde nuestras comunidades realizan sus actividades cotidianas. Nadie debería tener miedo de ser detenido mientras lleva a sus hijos a la escuela, compra alimentos o busca comida para su familia.

Wendy Cárdenas, Directora Ejecutiva de Make the Road Connecticut, hace un llamado a nuestros líderes estatales a ir más allá de las palabras y tomar medidas concretas para proteger a las familias inmigrantes.

🚨 ICE enforcement is escalating across Connecticut. Our communities need to be informed, prepared, and united.

In just four days, community rapid-response networks have documented 94 confirmed detentions across the state, including 64 in Danbury, 11 in Bridgeport, and 8 in Stamford.

In Bridgeport, ICE activity has expanded into places where families should feel safe, outside a school, a grocery store, and a food pantry. These are places where our communities go about their daily lives. No one should have to fear detention while taking their children to school, buying groceries, or accessing food for their families.

Wendy Cárdenas, Executive Director of Make the Road Connecticut, is calling on our state leaders to move beyond words and take action to protect immigrant families.

🚨 STOP & DIVEST FROM PALANTIR NOW! 🚨

Big Tech shouldn’t have more power than the people our elected officials are supposed to serve.

Tomorrow, we’re marching to Congressman Jim Himes’ office to demand that he stand with Connecticut constituents, not Big Tech corporations like Palantir.

Concerned about your rising electricity bill? ⚡
Worried about increased surveillance? 👁️

Then join us!✊🏽

We’re joining communities across the country this August recess to demand our elected officials and put people before corporate profits.

🌟Our power grows when we come together! In June, our general meetings in Bridgeport and Hartford brought our members together to build community, share updates, and strengthen our collective power.

📍In Bridgeport, we welcomed Eduardo Cabrera, Vice President and Community Manager at Chase, who led an informative workshop on funding a business and protecting personal finances. 🏦

📍In Hartford, Nicole from CT Paid Leave shared valuable information about the state’s paid leave program and the benefits available to workers and families. 💼

Moments like this remind us of the power we have when we come together! 🌟

🚨 How much do you know about the surveillance technologies being used in our communities?

From Flock license plate readers to Palantir's powerful data analysis platform, high-tech surveillance is expanding rapidly, and raising serious questions about privacy, civil liberties, and government accountability.

Join us to learn:
🦋How these surveillance systems work
🦋The role Palantir plays in collecting and analyzing data
🦋Why immigrant and working-class communities are disproportionately impacted
🦋What we can do to build awareness and take action
