Do your part to stop ICE funding today [View all]

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.
