The holidays are a time of family (whether birth or chosen) coming together in celebration and reflection. While we remember loved ones, we also remember the young migrant children separated from their families, the families held in abominable ICE prisons, the desperate migrants waiting in camps across the border with no refuge, and our own neighbors living in dread and fear of ICE raids at their workplace, school or homes. So let us renew our commitment to end all of this - not just protest one day but end it.

There is a way. Millions of people in India and elsewhere are showing us how, right now! Here in the US, articles of impeachment have finally been passed, and this presents an opening and a challenge to bring thousands into the streets, determined to push that further and not stop until Trump and Pence are GONE! Join us in growing the #OutNOW movement, and commit to taking January by storm.

That will not happen without funds to fuel this movement. Nationwide, our goal is to raise $26,407 by January 1. Please dig deep and share whatever you can, knowing that every dollar will help turn dread for the future into a force for hope.
