Organizing works: celebrating our Avelo wins and planning what next – hosted by Siembra NC’s Defend and Recruit

On January 7th, we won and loss.

Thanks to the work of tireless organizing around the country – actions, boycotts, local resolutions, and so much more – we have WON. Avelo has announced they will be stopping their work with ICE.

But on the same day, ICE murdered a civilian in Minnesota.  a mother who was lawfully observing the agents, a constitutionally protected act of community defense.

When we take a step forward, it can feel like we’re continuously being pulled backward. ICE’s actions and intensity are growing, and so must our movement.

And as we watch ICE break national laws and constitutional rights, and witness Trump’s brazen disregard for international law by kidnapping a head of State and threatening others, we are grounded in our reality: WE are the ones who must hold ICE, any corporation complicit in their horrific regime, and our political representatives accountable. We must continue to protect us, and we must continue to take action together.

On Thursday, January 15th, join our call at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT to talk about what we did, and what we’ll do next to take on Avelo and build immigration defense strategies, groups, and power in our communities.

Our organizing is more important than ever.
