The Department of Homeland Security has been quietly converting warehouses into industrial detention camps to hold and disappear our immigrant neighbors and community members. The decision to target vulnerable groups and warehouse human beings comes straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
Trump’s mass detention agenda is cruel, inhumane, and a threat to all of our rights -- and Indivisible is fighting back.
On April 25, we’re joining with coalition leaders from the Detention Watch Network and Disappeared in America for a nationwide day of action -- and we need your help to make it as big and successful as possible.
The Communities Not Cages Day of Action is about building a nationwide, coordinated effort to oppose the Trump regime’s mass detention agenda. Together, we’ll:
- Show visible, public opposition to ICE detention expansion. DHS has been hoping it can quietly expand detention capacity and warehouse human beings without the public hearing about it. It’s up to us to raise the alarm, and mobilize our communities in opposition.
- Demand that our elected officials join the fight. We need our local electeds to use every tool they have to disrupt the conversion and construction of detention camps in our communities. They must reject any public funding, permits, or resources that enable detention expansion.
- Build connections with other activists in your community. There may be groups in your area who are already engaged in this work and can help you plug in. If not, you probably have neighbors who are just as concerned as you and are also looking for ways to take action. April 25 is your chance to find those connections and build the resistance in your community.
