EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE - 4 PM, OUTSIDE OF TRAVIS COUNTY JAIL, 500 W 10TH ST. AUSTIN, TX Speaking out for our immigrant neighbors is not a crime. Misael has always shown up for our community, and now we need to show up for him.
EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE - 4 PM, OUTSIDE OF TRAVIS COUNTY JAIL, 500 W 10TH ST. AUSTIN, TX


This morning around 8:50 AM, Misael Ramos, Austin DSA-endorsed candidate for City Council District 1, was arrested by state troopers while walking his dog. His neighbors watched as troopers, many in unmarked vehicles, detained him wihtout ever showing a warrant. He is now being held at Travis County Jail on a misdemeanor charg that his campaign believes is tied to his participation in the protests after ICE agents shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a delivery driver in North Austin, last weekend.


Speaking out for our immigrant neighbors is not a crime. Misael has always shown up for our community, and now we need to show up for him.

Austin DSA unequivocally condemns the ICE shooting of a man in North Austin earlier today. We stand in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors and recall that an injury to one is an injury to all. The situation is still unfolding, however we demand a full, fair, and LOCAL investigation into the event in order to ensure at a minimum that justice is delivered for the victim and their family.

Tomorrow, August 12, City Council will hear a budget amendment to separate the 9-1-1 call center from the Austin Police Department. This gives us an opportunity to make the 9-1-1 call center a safer tool for our community to use. Tell your Council member to vote YES on Item 19.
CALL TO ACTION
Tell Austin City Council to Vote YES on Item #19: Separating the 911 call center from Austin Police DepartmentLast Thursday morning, several Texas DPS state troopers stopped a local construction worker after he made a wrong turn on the street next to Austin City Hall. Four DPS vehicles and an unmarked ICE agent quickly swarmed the stopped vehicle and arrested every 
person inside. As Austin DSA understands the traffic stop → arrest → deportation pipeline, it is entirely likely that DPS and ICE are already in the process of 
deporting the people they kidnapped, all because of a traffic violation.

The fact that this operation happened right outside city hall as the Austin City Council was meeting for a budget hearing can only be interpreted as a threat by Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, and their ilk: "shut up and stay in line, you have no power here." This operation also comes in the context of City Council yet again attempting to increase the Austin Police Department budget, in spite of mandatory collaboration between APD, DPS, ICE, and the entire deportation machine.Austin DSA unequivocally rejects this logic 
of state violence. We know that we, the great masses of working people, have the real power. We built this world, and we keep it running—together.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 12, Austin City Council will be hearing a budget amendment to separate the 9-1-1 call center from APD. 

This will have two massive effects: 
ALL 9-1-1 operations will be consolidated into a civilian Office of Joint Emergency Communications and OUT of APD, and
the 9-1-1 call center will become a safer tool for those in our community who currently feel unsafe and uncertain about calling emergency services due to ICE collaborations. We are calling on our community members to turn out to the budget hearing tomorrow, contact your Council member, and voice your support for this needed, demanded, and, frankly, economically wise amendment to the FY2027 budget.

The fight against the deportation machine doesn't stop there! Join your local neighborhood rapid response group if you haven't already. Come to Wednesday evening’s chapter training on poli-migrawatch, where you’ll learn how to patrol your own community for ICE agents and DPS troopers alike and your constitutional rights as an observer. An injury to one is an injury to all!

Chinga la migra! Fuck ICE! Abolish DHS!


Solidarity forever,
Austin DSA Leadership

Statement on the APD killing of unarmed 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams from Austin DSA Leadership Committee and Austin DSA AfroSoC Caucus Leadership.
Early in the morning on Friday, July 24th, APD killed unarmed 17-year-old Anthoneil Williams at a park in Northeast Austin. We mourn the loss of this child’s life and condemn this state-sanctioned murder. 
Our hearts are with his family and loved ones.

We need public safety alternatives to policing as soon as possible. A teenager experiencing a mental health crisis must be met with de-escalation strategy, not more than twenty bullets.

The Austin Police Department is attempting to pass this off as a “suicide by cop”. A suicide by cop is only possible because the victim knows that the cops will shoot; that’s what they do. The fact of the matter is that APD shot to kill Anthoneil within seconds of laying eyes on him and without identifying a weapon. This excuse does not 
change or absolve that.We demand accountability for the killing of one of our own, and that accountability includes:

1. A full and independent investigation into the shooting and the police department’s characterization of it as a suicide,
2. Not a single cent more to the Austin Police Department budget than what is contractually/legally required,
3. Passing the Community Investment Budget with the maximum amount possible for city social services and mental health support and zero funding for expanding policing and mass surveillance.

Our taxpayer money needs to go towards public safety measures that prioritize keeping community members alive as well as their health and wellnessAustin City Council has a budget work session this Thursday, July 30, at 10 AM. Join us in demanding that our city invests its money in proven, community-centered public safety solutions, not police. You can sign up to testify online until 12 PM noon on Wednesday, and you can sign up to testify in-person at City Hall until 9:15 AM the day of the work session. The link to sign up is in the Linktree in our bio (linktr.ee/austindsa).
