We're using billboards to expose ICE's detention camp plans

Indivisible

Indivisibles,

For months, DHS has been laying the groundwork to massively scale up their detention capacity by converting warehouses into concentration camps across the country. Immigrants in these camps are kept in inhumane conditions, separated from their families and lawyers, and face even higher risk of abuse and death.

The camps are a moral abomination. They’re also massively unpopular in every community where they’ve been proposed. That’s why activists have already succeeded in stopping the construction of more than a dozen camps. The opposition has been strong even in deep red, rural areas -- so strong that even some Republican senators have spoken out against them.

But there can’t be a public backlash if local residents don’t even realize DHS is planning a concentration camp in their communities. The regime knows this and that’s why they’re doing everything they can to keep the public in the dark. Well, it’s time to wheel in a big spotlight.

We’re putting up billboards like this one to let residents know there’s a proposed or existing detention camp in their area. These billboards could play a huge role in mobilizing local resistance to Trump’s detention camps, but we need your help to fund them -- so please pitch in today if you can.

Billboards, like this draft mockup, will go up in six locations near proposed or existing detention camps in: Surprise, AZ; San Antonio, TX; Hagerstown, MD; Natchez, MS; Orlando, FL; and Miami, FL. They will work hand in hand with our grassroots organizing tactics, including the Communities Not Cages national day of action we’re mobilizing for under the leadership of Detention Watch Network and Disappeared in America, this Saturday.

We need a wide range of tactics to raise the alarm and mobilize our communities against Trump’s detention agenda. That includes rallies and protests, speaking up at city council and planning board meetings, and visibility tactics like these billboards. But all of our organizing relies on the support of grassroots donors, so if you’re able to, please click here and pitch in today.

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action.

We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events.. No weapons are permitted under any circumstances.

Indivisible Project is a locally-led, people-powered movement of thousands of local groups in red, blue, and purple states, and in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Our mission is to power and lift up a grassroots movement of local groups to defeat the Trump agenda, elect progressive leaders, and realize bold progressive policies.

Grassroots donations, not foundations or large gifts, are our single largest source of funding. That means we’re accountable to, and fueled by, Indivisibles on the ground. Chip in $7 to keep fueling our movement.
