Are you full of heartbreak and rage seeing ICE raids and deportations and wondering what you can do in your chapter?

As ICE continues to escalate their violence toward our communities all over the country, we have a responsibility to protect ourselves and our neighbors from ICE’s violence. Their reckless and illegal intimidation tactics can only succeed if we do nothing.
