Title: End the Deportations! Author: The Utopian Tendency Date: 2017 Language: en Topics: United States of America, The Utopian, borders, Immigrants Source: Retrieved on 11th August 2021 from http://utopianmag.com/archives/tag-The%20Utopian%20Vol.%2016.4%20-%202017/end-the-deportations/ Notes: Published in The Utopian 16.4.
Support families under attack!
Assist families to develop personal “disaster plans”, including getting
documents together, getting dual citizenship and passports for their
kids when they can, training everyone in the family about what to do if
confronted with an ICE agent at home or in public, having emergency
numbers programmed into their phones, etc.
End the raids!
Take the initiative in coordinating defense cohorts of people committed
to being part of a red flag twitter (or Facebook) social media feed, so
that as many non-vulnerable people as possible show up at any ICE raid
to take pictures, document, share, support, disrupt. This includes
efforts to coordinate with other “sanctuary sites” such as schools,
churches and health care agencies. Officially designate such sites as
sanctuary zones.
Strengthen immigrant organizations!
Strengthen immigrant organizations, encouraging them to publish position
statements and use their resources to keep people informed and mobilize
them to action. There are many farmworker organizations, hometown
associations, clubs and other immigrant institutions which have not
necessarily been active in the past immigration reform struggles, but
who should be approached for collaboration.
Amnesty and full citizenship for all! For an open border!
Encourage and actively participate in the developing national day of
action for May 1. Despite personal fear and uncertainty, a large, vocal,
coordinated national day of immigrant rights activities would provide a
powerful message and avenue for advancing the movement.
Build a mass movement! Unite the movement!
The immigrant rights movement should actively seek to collaborate with
other progressive forces--the health care for all movement, the
environmental movement, Black Lives Matters, LGBT movement as a mutually
supportive movement of resisters.
