I know many of us are aware of this, but wanted to still put a heads up.

Wait for it.

We are proud to stand with the Centennial Protesters who were wrongfully arrested for standing up against the illegal ICE terror being perpetrated our communities, along with the despicable conditions at the Aurora GEO Detention Facility. Protesting is not a crime and we must all be willing to fight against this injustice!

On Monday, August 18th AND Monday, August 24th, we will be calling on our community to contact District Attorney, Amy Padden, ALL-DAY to demand that the protesters’ state charges are dropped! Join the organizing community for the next two weeks as we demand justice for Terry Burnsed, Arnie Carter, Yoselin Corrales, and El!

Both houses of Congress are now on recess through the end of the month. This long August break is intended to give them a chance to campaign for reelection, so in theory they should be a little more accessible to us in the next few weeks. We’re going to take this moment to show up on their doorsteps.

The immigrant community in Maine and their allies have been protesting daily since ICE agent David Brouillette murdered Johan Sebastián Guerrero in Biddeford on July 13th. Tomorrow, they’ll be holding an action at Susan Collins’ Biddeford office, calling out her making it all possible by voting for $70 billion in ICE funding. They’re asking us to do the same, hitting the streets in every district where members of Congress voted to expand ICE - demanding full and independent investigations into ICE killings, protection of the witnesses, an end to local collaboration with ICE, congressional use of their oversight authority, reallocating deportation funds to SNAP and Medicaid and a path to citizenship. 🪧 Let’s find a Care Not Cruelty action to attend near us here. 🪧

JUSTICE FOR THEM ALL

Meanwhile, our leaders still aren’t hearing us as we push back against the explosion of hyperscale data centers and the unrestrained creep of AI and surveillance tech. Trump is trying to end-run local opposition by letting them build on federal land now. Clearly we’re going to need to get louder. A coalition including Food & Water Watch, the Athena Coalition, Make the Road and the People’s Action Institute is using this recess to deliver letters and hold events at congressional offices and other key locations, encouraging our electeds to support Bernie Sanders and AOC’s federal data center moratorium bill and reject proposed projects locally – a Dump Big Tech Week of Action. 🪧 We can join them at these rallies near us here. 🪧
