Emergency Call to Action: OccupyICENYC Welcomes All Nationwide

Calll to support #OccupyICENYC in the face of a police clamp down.

In the early hours of July 18th, day 22 of the anti-I.C.E (de)occupation, four core organizers of OccupyICENYC were arrested by the NYPD despite complying to police orders.

We already understand I.C.E. to be actors in the continued colonization of the so-called United States and perpetrators of ethnic cleansing. The (de)occupation is strictly committed to abolitionism – not only demanding a total shut down of I.C.E, but the total abolition of police and all agents of the state. Our encampment has put unwavering time and energy in mutual aid projects and direct action; re-purposing the space as a resource center for free food, medical supplies, collective care initiatives, workshops, and legal referrals.

Examples of mutual aid initiatives and direct action:

Not only do we need immediate support to recuperate and maintain space, but we also welcome our comrades from across the country who have faced eviction to our encampment and offer unyielding support to continue the movement wherever I.C.E. abolition efforts are taking place.

Please join us at Thomas Paine Park at Foley Square in NYC.
