From Pittsburgh to Minneapolis: Stop ICE Terror

On January 24, ICE agents killed another innocent community member in Minneapolis. This comes the day after hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans took the streets to rise up against ICE terror in the first general strike in Minnesota in 80 years.

Across the nation, ICE is unleashing terror on our communities. WE SAY ENOUGH! These historic attacks demand a historic response from working and oppressed people all across the country. We must build our collective power to stop this campaign of deadly violence.

WE DEMAND that Pittsburgh implement strict non-cooperation with ICE and legislation in defense of our immigrant communities. WE DEMAND JUSTICE for the thousands of people who have been detained and deported, and we fight for justice for ALL those murdered by the U.S. empire, from the Twin Cities to Gaza and occupied Palestine.

Please dress warm, bring your friends & neighbors, and help keep each other safe.
