The Department of Homeland Security’s current budget will expire on December 7, 2018. Now is the time to contact your members of Congress and let them know that the actions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are unacceptable, morally reprehensible, and do not reflect our values or our vision of community.
In order to avoid a government shutdown, Congress must pass a new budget bill. Ask Congress to hold DHS, CBP and ICE accountable for their dehumanizing policies of mass incarceration, deportation and family separation by cutting their funding. They need to hear your voice, loud and clear, demanding that we stop pouring money into the detention and deportation machine. We refuse to give CBP more dollars to tear gas children or put our kids and families in internment camps. We refuse to give ICE more dollars for private contracts that criminalize asylum seekers through the abuse of the ankle monitor program. We refuse to fund hatred against immigrants.

All human beings deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Targeting unarmed and defenseless families with violence is disgraceful and unacceptable. Stop funding mass incarceration, family separation and deportation. Do not allocate funds to build a wall on the southern border and cut funding to the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
I’m calling on [Member of Congress] to commit to supporting cuts in funding to ICE and CBP and reject any border wall funding. ICE and CBP have a long track record of abuse, mismanagement of funds, and retaliation against those who speak out against them. We demand that [Member of Congress] speak to leadership and take a public stand in support of significant budget cuts to ICE and CBP.
