Why we organize

Name the harm

ICE raids, detention, and deportations separate families and destabilize communities. Abolish ICE is the clearest demand.

Shift local power

City councils, sheriffs, and contractors can refuse ICE contracts and cooperation. Local pressure changes the system.

Make it visible

Joyful, nonviolent protests turn hidden cruelty into public debate and grow the coalition to Abolish ICE.

Checklist

  • Confirm a legal, public location and permits if needed.
  • Assign roles: safety marshal, media lead, greeter, and de-escalator.
  • Bring clear signs that say "Abolish ICE" plus a one-sentence why.
  • Use a time-boxed noise moment (whistles, pots, chants) to draw attention without confrontation.
  • Document the action and share highlights with #AbolishICE, #DisbandICE, and #AntifascistFunBrigade.
