Coalition of IL worker centers organizing for dignified, family-supporting jobs
ICE is escalating, targeting immigrants, silencing dissent, and tearing families apart. Now they are going after our tax data. We can’t look away. Keep your eyes on ICE as we demand protections for our neighbors and communities. #StopTrumpsTrackdown

Today, a federal court is hearing a case to block ICE from accessing taxpayer data. Our tax dollars should protect families, not disappear them. If ICE can pierce tax record privacy, millions of families are at risk, and it won’t stop there. #StopTrumpsTrackdown

On Sept 12, ICE agents unjustly detained Willian Gimenez in Little Village while he entered a barbershop with his wife. ICE has refused to disclose his location and denied his attorneys access—violating his rights and abusing their power.

“There are 12 million immigrant workers in the U.S. who have been here for years, paying taxes—often more than the top 1% of billionaires in many states. Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes annually” Cristobal Cavazos, Executive Director, Immigrant Solidarity DuPage

Ana Guajardo, Centro de Trabajadores Unidos - “We are here today to say enough is enough. Our communities deserve protection, not persecution, our community contributes to the economy, like all workers. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect ✊🏽

Sanctuary policies don’t just protect immigrants; they protect all by ensuring safer workplaces, stronger neighborhoods, and a more just city. As Mayor Johnson defends our city before Congress we must not back down. Chicago will not be bullied into abandoning its values & traditions #DefendSanctuary

From Chicago and Boston to Denver and New York, sanctuary policies reflect our deepest values: dignity, justice, and solidarity. For nearly 40 years, Chicago has stood as a beacon of sanctuary —a place where families can build their lives free from fear and persecution. #SanctuaryStays

URGENT: HR 32 & HR 35 target sanctuary cities & ALL their residents. HR 32 defunds critical social services, and HR 35 imposes penalties without due process. Call your Representative TODAY: bit.ly/stophr3235 & tell them to vote NO.
