Abolish ICE (+ Resources)

As the current administration in the United States becomes increasingly violent towards migrant communities and allied protestors, Gotham must reiterate that we stand in solidarity with migrant communities.

The unimaginable atrocities committed by ICE agents goes against our fundamental belief that every human deserves to live with dignity and safety.

Gotham staunchly stands in opposition to ICE’s racist and xenophobic regime.

As our neighborhoods are impacted deeply by loss of coworkers, friends, and loved ones we ask that you commit to protecting and standing in solidarity with your local communities. We keep us safe!
