Frustrated by inaction on ICE warehouse, activists move to dissolve Surprise altogether

Surprise ICE warehouse facility opposition fuels a petition to disincorporate the Arizona city entirely, but it's a big challenge to do so

You are 50501 Arizona. Not 50501. Please cease and desist from using 50501 in Arizona as you do not own that trade name or entity. Thank you.

There's a reason why effective tactics are repeated. This isn't about today. Each of these demonstrations does not take place in a vacuum. This is about building critical mass to the point that it cannot be ignored or dismissed. But we are open to ideas. Please share what you're doing to PERSIST!
