<[link removed]>Friend,

Republicans in Congress hope that by kicking the can down the road on ICE funding, our movement will lose momentum.

Instead, we’re rising up like never before to demand action.

On Wednesday, Bend the Arc, T'ruah, and over 50 co-sponsoring organizations will be in Washington D.C. <[link removed]> with more than 100 rabbis and cantors leading a protest outside ICE Headquarters.

Simultaneous actions will take place in Minneapolis <[link removed]> and Massachusetts <[link removed]> to draw attention to the complicity of corporations, including Target and Signature Aviation, an airline that provides fuel and logistics for ICE flights.

Here’s the latest update on the ICE budget fight:

Congressional Republicans want to give ICE $64.4 billion for another year. Billions of dollars to rip families apart, build more prison camps, tear gas peaceful protestors, and murder legal observers.

Democratic leadership is demanding policy changes to ICE, like requirements for masks, body cameras, and judicial warrants, limits on uses of force, and more government oversight.1

These measures are the absolute bare minimum, and we must continue to demand loudly and clearly: Congress must commit to ending ICE terror, full stop — including cutting ICE’s funding.

Email Congress now and tell them: vote NO on any bill that continues ICE and CBP funding and doesn’t end ICE’s violence. <[link removed]>

The tides are turning, and the vast majority of Americans are on our side.2,3

Keep an eye on your inbox next week for next steps with Jews against ICE.

In solidarity,
