I was there when ICE stormed Gigante. I can attest to the raid’s traumatic aftermath. | Opinion Those who support ICE's actions ignore the fact that many of the people now being detained have existing asylum cases or green-card applications. Others have seen their legal statuses stripped away.

β€œThe level of glee and enjoyment among those enforcing these policies, the outrageous investment in a detention and deportation infrastructure this administration is making, has made this an obsession of unfathomable cruelty and injustice.” β€” Rabbi Elyse Wechterman

FOR ALLIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

Here's what you can do to be in solidarity with DC right now

FREE DC FOR ALLIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY Here's what you can do to be in solidarity with DC right now

DC DOESN'T HAVE ANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

SO WE NEED YOURS.

DC is home to more people than some states, but we don't have a single voting member of Congress.

That means we have no one to advocate on our behalf right now.

SEND A LETTER TO YOUR REPS TELLING THEM TO BE IN
SOLIDARITY WITH DC
COMMUNITIES.

We want Congress to do everything in their power to stand down federal law enforcement, stand down the National Guard, and stop the redirection of our local police department.

While you're writing, we also want members of Congress to stop freezing DC's local budget, like they did earlier this year.

We want members of Congress to stop trying to overturn DC laws, like they are doing right now through the federal budget process and with standalone bills.

And we want members of Congress to co-sponsor H.R. 51,
"The Washington DC Admissions Act," so that DC residents don't have to live through these cycles of attack over and over again.

Are you looking to help D.C. fight the Trump regime’s occupation?

D.C. doesn’t have any voting members in Congress, so they need you to contact yours to advocate on their behalf.

Tell your representatives to stand down the federal escalation and respect D.C.

The U.S. Constitution and longstanding federal law strictly limit the use of the military to police civilians. Under the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, active-duty military forces are prohibited from engaging in domestic law enforcement unless explicitly authorized by Congress or the Constitution.

"Empathy is a gift that allows us to see ourselves in others & connect with the needs of others based on the good we desire for ourselves. While it is possible for empathy to be exploited, the nefarious actions of few to manipulate & abuse the concerns for their needs should not be a deterrent to living the Golden Rule. Caring for others is a value that should not be shamed, nor should there be any shame in being empathetic."

-Rev. Karen Georgia Thompson, GMP/CEO, UCC
