Good morning,
The Senate will be voting on the bill (passed by the House) that will keep 100% of funding for Homeland Security intact. We must tell our senators to vote against funding out-of-control ICE. Blue and Purple states: Here is our chance to use our political clout.

Call your senator:

Here is a sample script from Indivisible:

• Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].
• I’m calling to urge Senator [Name] to refuse to vote for any appropriations bill funding the Department of Homeland Security that fails to rein in ICE.
• The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and  are part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against our communities.
• We can’t wait around while ICE harms more people. Senator [NAME] must push for an appropriations bill that puts serious restrictions on ICE, ends its dragnet raids, and doesn’t add a penny to its already bloated budget.

And now the music:
“The Telephone Call” by Kraftwerk (1987) highlights the reliance on technology and reflects the growing, often mechanical, nature of international communication and surveillance in the 1980s. Some themes never change. . .
