Huge thank you to Mark and Cynthia Lorenzoni for hosting a hike for Perriello through biscuit run. The downpour matched the outpouring of support from so many awesome people.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

State Department set to launch ‘Office of Remigration’
The concept of remigration has explicitly neo-Nazi roots and has been popularized in Europe.

I know a lot of people are really eager to section off ICE and Border Patrol as uniquely pernicious forms of law enforcement but it’s simply impossible to disentangle what we’re seeing from ICE with policing in any honest way.

If you’re a senior or low-income, don't forget: John McGuire and Republicans pushed through the largest healthcare cuts in American history. They slashed nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid and stripped coverage from 10 million people—all to fund tax breaks for wealthy donors.

Statement: We are outraged by this week’s police killing of a Black man in Madison, WI.

Yesterday, Corey Ruiz was killed just blocks from where the police killed Tony Robinson Jr. in 2015. Video of the shooting appears to show police pinning Mr. Ruiz on the ground when the first shot was fired. The summary execution of any person is unacceptable, a profound violation of human rights, and an outrageous abuse of power. 

We echo the call for a full, independent investigation into the police killing of Corey Ruiz. His family and friends and the people of Madison deserve the full truth. We stand in solidarity with those demanding answers, transparency, accountability, and justice. Our communities need a system of public safety that values every human life and builds trust instead of fear.

Black Americans have long known anti-Black police violence to be a form of fascism. Surveillance, control, and the threat of death are all part of the fascist playbook. We know the racist violence of the police is the same as the racist violence of ICE. We know this everyday racist violence stands in opposition to the multiracial democracy we dream of and build towards in Indivisible Charlottesville and beyond. To achieve a multiracial democracy, we must end racist, fascist state violence and we must transform our society at its roots. 

Join us.

Our statement on ICE actions in Greene County today. Links to take action in comments. We stand with our immigrant neighbors. #AbolishICE. If you are looking for something to do, here are three concrete ways to take action to support our immigrant neighbors:
We are filled with grief and rage over the ICE activity in Greene County today, June 23. Cville ICE Watch reported, “Approximately 20 Greene County sheriff’s deputies and ICE officers have been actively detaining people in the area of the intersection of Route 29/Route 33.”

Our love, resources, and solidarity go out to all individuals taken today, and to their families, friends, and neighbors. You deserve better. You deserve to be free, without fear, and home with the ones you love tonight and every night. And, our love, resources, and solidarity go out to all those stopped today, going about your lives, which you deserve to live free and without fear.The time is now for our community to come together to take care of each other. Here are three concrete ways to take action to support our immigrant neighbors:

Put grocery gift cards into the hands of local food-insecure immigrant families by donating to the Grocery Card Campaign, hosted by Sin Barreras and co-sponsored by Indivisible Charlottesville and several other trusted community organizations.
https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=QFX5QZSKBYAF8

Cover bond payments for Virginians held in ICE detention by donating to the Central Virginia Community Support Fund, fiscally sponsored by Congregate Charlottesville.  
https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ccfreedomfund 

Raise funds to pay the legal fees of our immigrant neighbors by participating in the Cville Latine Art Fundraiser, an evening of art, music, and food, hosted by Fuerza Latina this Saturday, June 27, 6-9 pm at Sojourners United Church, 1017 Elliott Ave. Indivisible Charlottesville demands that our local, state, and national elected officials stop being complicit with this corrupt authoritarian regime, and do everything in their power to stand up for our communities. We demand a public commitment to abolish ICE and that they use all legal powers and authorities to refuse cooperation with federal immigration agencies. 

ICE must get out of our communities NOW.

ICE can only carry out their evil work with the support of local law enforcement. Those of us in violence prevention know that community violence intervention efforts break down when the community has no trust in local law enforcement. LE collusion with ICE will have severe and long term impact.
