Beacon Shine the Light Thursdays: ICE OUT of Great Neck!

Across the country, communities are organizing to disentangle local law enforcement from federal immigration enforcement. When local police or sheriffs collaborate with ICE, it undermines trust, separates families, and makes all of us less safe. ***Our goal is simple and clear:*** No local resources for ICE. No contracts. No data-sharing. No collaboration. At this event, we will: 1. Bring together neighbors, workers, and allies 2. Prepare to meet with local elected officials (or attend a public meeting) 3. Call on our [city/county/state] leaders to move forward policies that disentangle ICE from local law enforcement Take concrete steps toward passing local protections This effort builds on years of organizing led by immigrant communities nationwide — from the fight against 287g contracts to the sanctuary victories that have proven local action works. Cities and states that say NO to ICE are a critical bulwark against mass deportations and the erosion of civil rights. There is much that we can do locally. And there is much that our elected officials can do — if we demand courage and leadership. Join us!
