‼️A THREAD 🧵

We know everything is crazy right now, to where focusing on local politics might feel like a moot point. However, we think it’s still important to keep informed.

Are you tired of ICE abducting your neighbors and shooting random people for no reason???

Are you tired of Congress ignoring the material conditions on the ground in your cities???

☎️ MAKE SOME NOISE👇
HOW CAN WE DEFUND I.C.E.?! Congress allocates federal spending through the appropriations process. They have until Jan 31 to vote on how funds are divided.

This is the easiest thing you will do all day. Please vote on this poll. While polls won’t save us, it can give a snapshot to how people feel, and it’s best to have a large sample size.

As the threat of world war looms and our government floods our streets with their secret police, it's important to remember that our voice is a tool to be used loudly and without hesitation. We will never back down in the face of adversity and we must not "become silent about things that matter!"
