ICE's mass hiring efforts aiming to scale up abductions in sanctuary cities will only result in violence, chaos, and fear in our communities. New Yorkers will continue to fight back against DHS's unwelcome presence in our city and protect our neighbors. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/u...

Today, the Supreme Court affirmed what we've always known: that Americans can vote in whatever way is most convenient for them, whether that be by mail, via a ballot drop box, early in-person, at a polling location on Election Day.

Don’t miss it, New York. RSVP for the call at tr.ee/masscall

DEAR NEW YORK,
We are seeing an increase in ICE across the city. At the same time, threats to the midterm elections and crackdowns on dissent are ramping up. All of this is part of the Trump regime's authoritarian agenda to instill fear in us and seize more power.

The good news is we have a plan to fight back, and this Wednesday. August 19th at 6pm, we're holding a citywide call to share the plan and what you can do to get involved. Because it's going to take all of us.

We'll need to step out of our comfort zones, get trained, bring neighbors together, and be ready to take massive collective action.

RSVP for the call to hear the plan:

Today, New Yorkers marched for Good Trouble, and left behind flowers & banners outside 26 Federal Plaza, a place that’s turned into one of fear & violence for immigrant families. Our message is simple. We see you, we love you, we’re with you, and we won’t stop until everyone is free.

On a fence that lines the exterior of 26 Federal Plaza—a site of terror and violence for immigrant families in NYC—hangs hundreds of banners that say “Protect Immigrant New Yorkers”, “Defend the Black Vote” , and “Free Them All” next to posters with the faces and names of people killed by ICE and flowers.
