"We started a war of aggression for no reason & commenced it by accidentally bombing an elementary school & killing over 100 kids." That simple fact is so horrific that it's just kind of bouncing on the surface of our collective consciousness. We can't absorb its full implications & significance.

TONIGHT: We’re hosting an organizing call about how to keep ICE off college campuses — and how you can help. Together, we can make sure students and campus communities stay safe.

ICE Off Campus: Alumni & Higher Education Organizing Call · Indivisible
Since Trump’s return to office, higher education has been under attack – with schools facing pressure from the administration to curtail free speech and academic freedom, eliminate DEI policies as part of admissions, and limit the number of international students. And now colleges and universities are facing yet another pressing threat: ICE enforcement on campus. We’ve seen ICE terrorize our communities, use intimidation tactics on innocent bystanders, and deploy chemical weapons at schools - this dangerous agency has no place on our campuses. Join Indivisible, Stand For Campus Freedom, the Emergency Campaign to Support Higher Education, and other partners to learn what you can do to keep ICE off campuses. "Everyone has a role to play in ensuring colleges and their communities are safe from ICE. This call is specifically meant for folks who may not have a presence on campus — including alumni, concerned neighbors, and loved ones of someone on campus — but anyone is welcome to attend and take action.
