 Resist ICE and support our neighbors!

 

On Wednesday, January 7th, 2026, an American citizen, Renee Nicole Good, was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This death is not the first and is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies. All of us are appalled by the way ICE is instilling fear across our communities. The question is, how can we resist ICE, and support our neighbors? Below are some national, regional and local actions.​

​

National

  • Force Multiplier is joining Indivisible, MoveOn, the American Civil Liberties Union, Voto Latino, United We Dream, 5050, and a broad coalition of groups across the country in calling for a coordinated ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10th, and Sunday, January 11th, to demand accountability, honor the life of Renee Nicole Good, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.

Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest regions

  • “Boycott Citizens”: A grassroots effort seeks to force Citizens Bank to stop financing the two major private prison/detention center companies—CoreCivic and the GEO group. Leafleting at local bank branches has begun, and efforts are underway to connect with groups across the state and nation for more concerted action.The bank operates in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and also serves Delaware, Florida, Maryland, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington D.C..

 

Eastern MA and Southern NH

  • .De-ICE Hanscom:  Weekly Friday afternoon protests at Hanscom Airfield in the western suburbs of Boston, led by a coalition of groups, raise awareness of deportation flights ICE operates there.  The group also organizes attendance and public comments at every public meeting of the Massport Board, which governs all airports in the Commonwealth, to apply pressure to those in power. With over 100 attending the November meeting, Board members noticed!

Greater Boston Area

  • Mutual Aid:  Chelsea, Massachusetts is a predominantly Latino community heavily targeted by ICE. Activist Evenings, working alongside several churches and synagogues in Brookline/Boston, helps organize a steady stream of volunteers to work with LaColaborativa to deliver food to immigrants who have justified fears of leaving their houses.

 

Your community likely has similar efforts. You can find out about some through Mobilize, your local Indivisible chapter, through word-of-mouth, or by contacting local immigrant advocacy organizations.
