SUMMARY:I.C.E. Out of Tucson for Good
DESCRIPTION:by Carolyn Classen\, blogger \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTime\n\n\n\nFriday\, January 23 \n\n\n\n12 – 2pm MST \n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nnorth side of Dodge and Broadway\, north of Reid Park \n\n\n\n3711 E Broadway BlvdTucson\, AZ 85716Map \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\n“Wednesday\, January 7th\, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis\, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence\, impunity\, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.  \n\n\n\nA broad coalition of groups across the country is calling for a coordinated Ice Out For Good actions on Friday\, January 23rd in solidarity for Minnesota\, and to demand accountability\, honor the life lost\, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions. \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all ICE Out For Good events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disobedience. 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. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events. All events should be held in public spaces or on public property. Indivisible is managing data and communications with participants. By registering\, you agree to receive info from Indivisible about the event\, receive communications via e-mail or SMS message from Indivisible\, and receive any other updates and opportunities to take action or support ICE OUT FOR GOOD partner organizations. You also agree to have any data entered in this registration collected by Indivisible. Indivisible will treat your data according to our organization’s applicable privacy policy: https://indivisible.org/privacy-policy” \n\n\n\nCarolyn’s note: ironic and fitting that these protest titles say Out for Good for the shooting death of 37 year old Renee Good in MN by I.CE.
