Bushwick is coming together to fight back against ICE! Sign up here: https://www.mobilize.us/handsoffnyc/event/992583/

Join your neighbors and community organizations for a day of action to fight back against ICE! 

Our business canvassing program engages in outreach to local businesses so that they and their employees are prepared for ICE raids, know their rights, and are connected to community organizers in the area. This is sustained by our incredible coalition of over 250 organizations, labor unions, faith leaders, and activists who have canvassed close to 12,000 businesses so far.

Working in pairs, block by block, we meet with owners, managers, and employees at their work sites. We use multilingual, legally vetted materials to ensure they know how to protect themselves now, what to do if ICE comes, what to do in case of detentions, and where to find additional resources.

This is part of a day of action hosted by Councilmember Sandy Nurse, other local elected officials and community organizations.
