Black Lives Matter

John,

In case you missed it, ICE agents stormed Chicago’s Southwest Side earlier this month. They dragged people off sidewalks, detained a flower vendor, and arrested neighbors at bus stops. Trump calls it Operation Midway Blitz, a weeks-long campaign to terrorize immigrant communities, racially profile, and flex his authoritarian power.

This is not about safety. This is state violence.

Chicago is a sanctuary city, but Trump is sending federal forces to override local protections, threaten families, and kidnap people off the streets.

Black and Brown futures are intertwined. We know what it means to be targeted, surveilled, and criminalized. From ICE raids to police brutality, the message is the same: our communities are disposable. We reject that lie.

We are fighting back: organizing, and demanding that local leaders hold the line against Trump’s unconstitutional abuse of power. But we can’t do it without you.

Add your name now to pledge your solidarity and condemn the inhumane actions of ICE.

When we fight back, it is not just about resisting raids at this moment. It is about building the world we deserve. One where every Black and Brown child, every immigrant, every family can live free from fear, fully resourced, and rooted in joy.

We are planting the seeds of a future defined not by cages and checkpoints, but by housing, healthcare, safe schools, and the freedom to move and belong everywhere.

Our struggle is not only about survival. It is about liberation.

Show your solidarity with Chicago and immigrants everywhere. Add your name to condemn ICE and pledge your commitment to fighting for human rights everywhere.

Our freedom is bound together. Fight alongside us.

— Team Black Lives Matter



Our grassroots movement is pushing for Black liberation every single day. We are striving to create a world where Black people do so much more than just survive. It’s time we thrive.

As an organization one of our biggest hurdles is consistency.

A recurring contribution of anything you can afford goes a long way as we plan for the months, years, and even decades ahead. This is the most effective way for small-dollar donors (like you) to power our Black liberation work.

Will you make a recurring contribution of $5 or more today so that we can keep building momentum for our movement?
