Do your part to stop ICE funding today

ICE has taken over my community and is killing and maiming people. I ask that you make a small effort and call Hakim Jefferies office--202-225-5936--to ask him to whip the vote to stop funding for ICE.

Lives depend on it.

A request: to those of you who think it's disrespectful or futile to ask your representatives to work for your interests, please don't post to discourage others from acting.

Again, Hakim Jefferies: 202-225-5936
Also contact your local congressperson.

I just contacted mine, Ilhan Omar, even though I know she will vote against funding for ICE, but I asked her to encourage Jefferies to whip the vote.

Please take action today.

you get The Capitol Switchboard, and you tell them which Representative, or Senator you wish to speak to.

I think Unions set this number up around a decade ago. Been using it for years. 👍

I call on a cellphone, so the number makes no difference, but that's good advice for those with land lines.
