James,
Earlier this year, Avelo Airlines quietly signed on to fly deportation
flights for ICE, turning our airports into launchpads for tearing families
apart.
Public outcry followed as activists around the country launched anti-Avelo
billboards and public protests over the cruel deportation flights...and
now the pressure is starting to work. Activists – including Our Revolution
members – in Burbank, California just helped push the airline to close its
base there.

deportation flights
Next we’re taking the fight to Maryland and Maine to turn up the pressure
and show Avelo – and all airlines – that separating families and powering
ICE’s deportation machine is NOT good for business.
[ [link removed] ]Will you take 30 seconds to demand that state and local officials in
Maine, Maryland and beyond REFUSE to do business with Avelo – or any
airline – that runs deportation flights for ICE?
Avelo started flying special charter ICE deportation flights in May.
Protests and vows to boycott the airline soon followed, and haven’t let up
since.
Now, the protests have spread to airports like Maryland’s
Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) airport, which is owned by the
state of Maryland. That means its Governor and transportation officials
have the power to decide which airlines use public resources for their
operations.

Airlines role in ICE deportations
We’re not stopping there. Avelo also operates flights out of Portland,
Maine, where city officials have direct jurisdiction.
This means that decision-makers at airports like BWI and Portland
International Jetport have a choice. They can stand with immigrant
families and refuse to do business with an airline responsible for ripping
families apart – or they can turn a blind eye while our tax dollars
bankroll Trump’s deportation machine.
[ [link removed] ]Grassroots organizing in Burbank worked because the outcry was
impossible to ignore. And now we’re ready to do it again and again until
no airline wants to be associated with ICE’s cruel deportation. Add your
name now to help us flood state and local officials with a clear message:
don’t be complicit in ICE’s deportation pipeline.

When we organize, we win.
