"Stop Avelo"
https://apnews.com/article/avelo-airlinea-deportation-ice-arizona-39da77896eaf15c9bcaaf09d617c0c6b"Avelo Airlines announced in April it had signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to make charter deportation flights from Mesa Gateway Airport outside Phoenix. It said it will use three Boeing 737-800 planes for the flights.
The Houston-based airline is among a host of companies seeking to cash in on President Donald Trump’s campaign for mass deportations."

"Avelo Airlines has accepted a $150 million contract to operate deportation flights, aiding in the illegal removal of individuals without their right to a fair hearing or due process. It’s time for Avelo to feel the full force of our anti-fascist, anti-oppressive anger. Together we will:
Organize Anti-Avelo Protests in Avelo Cities Around the Country
Organize a National Boycott of Avelo - drive their ticket sales to zero
Pressure City/State Officials to Review, Suspend, and Terminate Avelo Contracts and Subsidies
File lawsuits against cities and states that continue to fund Avelo in violation of their own laws and values.
Avelo’s contract with ICE is cruel, inhumane and a direct violation of our Constitution.
Our Coalition will not stop until Avelo cancels its ICE contract - or we put Avelo out of business!"
