Today, every single copy of The Hill in Washington, DC — the top newspaper for members of Congress and their staff — opens to a full page ad featuring a letter Bend the Arc helped lead:
Over 1,000 organizations demanding not one more dollar to ICE and CBP.1
Our timing is intentional: Congress is currently negotiating a new funding bill that could either supercharge ICE’s assaults on our communities or finally make meaningful changes to rein in their illegal and immoral actions.
The 1,000+ groups in the ad, paid for by our friends at Amnesty International USA, range from national immigration organizations to local religious institutions and activist collectives — all united to demand accountability for ICE.
Today, our message is front and center in The Hill. Let’s make sure it’s also directly in Congress’s inboxes. Email Congress now to demand not one more dollar for ICE.
In solidarity,
Eli Williams-Szenes
Director of Advocacy and Political Affairs, Bend the Arc
PS: Support from people like you powers this work, including historic Jews Against ICE actions around the country yesterday. Donate to help us scale up the Jewish fight to get ICE out of our communities.
