Add Your Name - Sheriffs should not do ICE's job for them Thanks to pressure from Donald Trump's ICE, more sheriffs' departments are harassing, detaining, and jailing our undocumented neighbors. Add your name and tell sheriffs to stop taking orders from ICE.

Trying to learn about digital activist organizing tools. Specifically, right now: how to create an event-posting tool for my local group's website? I’m sure it’s not hard, but could use some tips to get started. All advice welcome. @indivisible.org

We need to start knocking on folks’ doors NOW so that they understand who is responsible, right?
