Register for our upcoming Jail Support Training! This training will prepare you to fill the important role of providing jail support before, during, and after actions. As we often say, "we keep us safe," and this entails keeping track of and providing support for people who may be detained. If you are not able to risk arrest yourself, this might be a great role for you. In the current moment, the risks are heightened, and the landscape is changing rapidly, so jail support will be all the more important! Join us!

🎯 Friday, we go to Target in Downtown Seattle (1401 2nd).

Friday January 30th, 1:30pm

Not to shop, but to send a message to the company that they must stop enabling ICE’s terror campaign.

Why?
Target donated $1,000,000 to Trump’s inauguration, rolled back DEI initiatives, has reportedly allowed ICE to stage operations in its parking lots. On Thursday, January 8th, Customs and Border Patrol assaulted and kidnapped two US citizens while they were working a shift at the Richfield, MN Target store. On Sunday, January 11th, Customs and Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino entered the Midway Target in Saint Paul, MN, along with a team of agents to apparently film propaganda.

For the last three weeks, Target refused time and again to make a public comment on these violations of Minnesotans rights. Last weekend, Target finally broke their silence and joined on to a statement from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce alongside 60 major Minnesota corporations. That statement called for “cooperation” between state and federal government, an incredibly alarming call given that Attorney General Pam Bondi has clarified what “cooperation” would entail: granting the DOJ access to Minnesota voter rolls and other tools of federal overreach in the name of “ending the chaos” they violently created. This statement is nowhere near enough

We are demanding:
🔴 Publicly call for an immediate end to the ICE “surge” into MN and for ICE & Border Patrol to leave the state.
🔴 Affirm Target as a 4th Amendment Workplace. (Exercise their 4th Amendment rights and publicly post signage denying entrance to immigration agents who do not have signed judicial warrants as required by law, as well train staff on how to respond when immigration agents arrive at stores.)
🔴 Publicly call to shut down Trump’s ICE. Lobby congress for no additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming Congressional budget and ICE should be investigated for human and Constitutional violations of Americans and our neighbors.
🔴 Demand any federal officer who kills or harms a civilian be held legally accountable.That starts with legitimate investigations and charges by local officials.

Today is our 2nd day of visiting the offices of Senators Murray and Cantwell, demanding that they:

💥 Refuse to vote for any funding bill that gives even one more penny to ICE for any reason.
💥 Within two weeks, issue a plan to abolish ICE and establish a committee to investigate crimes by ICE, CPB, and DHS.
💥 Call for impeachment of Kristy Noem.

They are meeting some of these demands but neither has called for ICE to abolished. And neither has been very strong in speaking up loudly to this fascist regime.

We need stronger leadership. Now is not a time to play it safe and worry about re-election. It’s a time to call out the tech-billionaires and literal n***s taking over the government and working to make Project 2025 a reality.

We will be back again. And again.

These are not radical demands. They are basic things that any decent human would call for.

If you have yet, call their offices and leave a message.

Sen. Murray - 206-224-2621
Sen. Cantwell 206-224-3441

We are so fu***ng sad and angry right now. Rest in peace Alex Pretti. ICE has torn families apart since its existence and now, under this regime, they are giving anyone desperate or hateful enough to apply for a job with them a gun and a mask and quota to meet. What ICE leadership says, backed by the regime, is terrifying and illegal.

Here in WA state, our Democrat Senators have been way too weak on ICE's reign of terror. In fact, a week ago Sen. Murray actually supported expanded ICE funding.

Enough is enough. Now is not the time for anyone who supposedly believes in human rights and dignity to do nothing shy of calling for abolishing ICE.

We are calling upon WA state constituents to demand that our two Senators:

💥 Refuse to vote for any funding bill that gives even one more penny to ICE for any reason.
💥 Within two weeks, issue a plan to abolish ICE and establish a committee to investigate crimes by ICE, CPB, and DHS.
💥 Call for impeachment of Kristy Noem.

These are not radical demands. They are basic things that any decent human would call for.

Call their offices and leave a message. And if you're in the Seattle area, join us this week as we take action. DM us to join.

Join a massive, peaceful, and non-violent protest of ICE deportation flights at King County International Airport (Boeing Field) hosted by .

Thousands of Washingtonians, pillars of communities and families all over our state, are being abducted by ICE, ripped away from their children and families, and flown away - cruelly cuffed hands and feet the entire flight - to countries they may not have been to for decades or ever, often sent towards almost certain violence or death.

This is timed for when a deportation flight is likely to fly in and out.

Bring your voice, your feet, and your powerful, eye-popping signs as we stand in solidarity with all those impacted and disappeared by the fascist Trump regime and his Gestapo goons.
