ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is not just tearing apart families of undocumented people at the border. Here in Ohio, that agency is actively working to target, harass, and criminalize immigrants, directly furthering the Trump regime’s cruel white nationalist agenda.

On Monday, July 9, at 9am, we will rally to #aboliceICE outside the Ohio Statehouse.

Bring signs, bring friends, bring family.

Saturday, June 30, 10am, Ohio Statehouse

Join us by protesting the Trump administration’s cruel and inhumane anti-immigrant policy, which has separated thousands of immigrant children from their parents in recent weeks. Rallies will take place across the nation today.

Wednesday, June 27, 2-3pm, First Congregational Church, 444 E. Broad St.

Join women of faith crying out for justice for families experiencing immoral and inhumane treatment at the border. The atrocities committed by our government are growing more barbaric by the day, and we must resist!

Wednesday, June 20, 11am-1pm, outside of the LeVeque Tower [the location of an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office], 50 W. Broad St.

Separating families is inhumane and immoral; we cannot be silent and complicit. Our government has instituted a policy of separating children from their parents at our borders. This is inhumane and immoral and calls for action now!
