Border to Border with Love to Defund Hate

We have a unique opportunity to be the beginning of a Canada to Mexico, border-to-border show of solidarity with those who believe it is time to Defund Hate. Sign up at the bottom of this description.

Why are we rallying in support of Defunding Hate?

Right now U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to circumvent the constitutional authority of Congress to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from other agencies in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to fund Trump’s racist, deadly immigration agenda. Last year, ICE raided money from FEMA (the agency responsible for coordinating disaster response efforts) just as hurricane season was about to start — and ICE is clearly repeating the same dangerous gamble with people’s lives.

This is why one of the key asks in the Defund Hate campaign is to end ICE’s “transfer and reprogramming authority” that allows it go rogue and steal money. ICE and CBP are the agencies tasked with carrying out Trump’s immigration policies, which means that defunding these agencies is the best way to fight against family separations, workplace raids, human rights abuses at the border, and the other atrocities Trump’s administration commits on a near-daily basis.

The fundamental concept behind Border to Border with Love to Defund Hate is one of escalating people power. The real work product is the process by which groups connect with each other and send the same, unifying message (with varying tactics) to our members of Congress.

Bring signs! We’ll take photos and be the very first to sign a banner that will be relayed by Indivisible groups along the I-5 corridor all the way down to the Mexico border. JOIN US!
