Abolish ICE - Start Here

Abolish ICE. Protect our communities.

This quick-start guide helps you take a first nonviolent action. Share the script, pick a protest idea, and bring the Abolish ICE demand into public view.

Say it in one sentence

Use this script when you invite someone to join an action:

“Abolish ICE — end detention and deportation harm and invest in community safety instead.”

Why this matters

ICE harms families

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

Local pressure works

Cities, counties, and contractors can refuse ICE contracts and cooperation. Local organizing forces public officials to choose sides.

Creative protest spreads

Nonviolent, humor-forward actions make the demand visible and invite new people into the movement.
