We stand in unequivocal opposition to ICE, the occupation of our communities, and all forms of state-sanctioned violence.
You don’t have to be personally impacted to know this must end. You only have to care about your neighbors.
Independent abortion clinics have long worked to keep patients, staff, and volunteers safe. Today, many clinics are making it clear: ICE is not welcome in their spaces.

29.01.2026 16:38 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Our communities deserve care, not violence. ACN stands in opposition to ICE and the militarized occupation of our communities. The presence of ICE and militarized policing is deterring people from accessing health care, including abortion care, and threatens bodily autonomy, safety, and dignity.
