Hi John,
We’re deeply saddened by the death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this weekend – and by the total lack of accountability shown by our federal government as they stoke the fires of chaos in Minneapolis.
This week, Congress will decide whether we get real accountability for the actions our tax dollars are funding in Minnesota – or if they’ll hand this lawless administration another $10 billion as they place entire American cities under siege.
Your action right now could make all the difference – can you write your senators and tell them they must act today to rein in ICE and Border Patrol?
Trump’s aggressive enforcement operations and multiple fatal shootings, including the killing of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good caught on video, have outraged and activated millions of Americans across the political spectrum.
Now, all eyes are on the Senate, where Republicans need Democratic votes to pass funding for the Department of Homeland Security – which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CPB).
John, before Saturday’s horrific events, this was a done deal. Congress looked set to once again ignore their constitutional responsibility to provide checks and balances on an executive branch that’s aggressively consolidating power.
But now, there’s real momentum, from Republicans and Democrats alike, to hold the line. Now, it comes down to what people like you and me do.
Use this link to write to your U.S. senators today – before they vote – and urge them to oppose funding for the Department of Homeland Security unless it includes meaningful reforms that protect civil liberties and human life.
Americans deserve the right to know their government will be held accountable for its actions and the right to know our representatives and senators are protecting our civil liberties.
Thanks for all you do,
The team at Issue One Action
