Calendar
The day before Inauguration Day, January 19th, people from across Northern California will come together in San Francisco to demand a future that centers the needs of the people over the interests of the wealthy elite. With voices raised for workers’ rights, immigrant rights, environmental justice, and an end to the genocide in Gaza, we will stand for working people, not a billionaire’s agenda-from the local to the global, from defending people at home to ending the U.S. war machine.
Join the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity next Wednesday, for a press conference, procession, and day of remembrance vigil. We gather to reaffirm sanctuary, a sacred tradition across many faiths of welcoming immigrants and standing against actions that would tear families and communities apart.

As we suspected, the number of arrests of individuals under some form of ICE surveillance (via formal check-ins with ICE and/or through the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program/ISAP) has significantly increased since the start of the Trump Administration. CJE has connected with dozens of groups across the country about how these arrests have been carried out and have identified a few patterns that ICE appears to be following – most notably the use of ruse tactics to trick people and then arrest them. We are continuing to track these arrests so please reach out directly if you have information that would help our efforts.
We’ve updated the resource we released back in January “When ICE is Watching: Know Your Fight, Protect Your People”, which provides information to people under ICE surveillance about the risks for arrest and detention, with the information that we’ve been able to collect so far about these arrests. The resource is now available in English, Spanish, French, Wolof, Simplified Chinese, Portuguese, Hindi, Arabic, Cebuano, Farsi, and Pashto. You can find the folder with all the resources here: https://bit.ly/knowyourfight. Please continue to share it widely!
Additionally, if your organization is working with people under any kind of ICE surveillance we want to invite you to join us for a community conversation on Friday, March 7th at 9:30am PT/12:30pm ET. At this meeting, we will briefly review the resource, discuss how these arrests have been conducted, and any connections that might exist between them. We want groups to discuss what they’re witnessing and how they’re supporting community members under ICE surveillance. You must register here to participate.
If you can’t make the meeting, but want to be in touch with us, please fill out this link.

Trump, Musk, and their billionaire cronies are gutting Social Security, slashing Medicaid, and looting our government to bankroll their latest tax scam—unless we stop them. We’re taking to thee streets to say Hands Off. Join us!
This mass mobilization day is our message to the world that we do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies. Alongside Americans across the country, we are marching, rallying, and protesting to demand a stop the chaos and build an opposition movement against the looting of our country.
A core principle behind all Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
Registration is required – secure your seat here.
