We join the chorus of so many others to say, “ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES!”
ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES! UC-AFT condemns today's Supreme Court decision that sanctions ICE's racist profiling and violence in Los Angeles. Detaining, harassing, and kidnapping people based on appearance and language is abhorrent and inhumane. We stand with the people of L.A. who continue to fight back and build solidarity in face of authoritarianism in their communities. Members who can afford to are encouraged to donate to the Immigrant Workers Defense Fund more info at linktr.ee/ucaft
