ICE OUT! rallies set for Jan. 23

UUP is encouraging members to attend ICE OUT! rallies across the state on Friday, Jan. 23 to peacefully oppose ICE and stand proudly with the people of Minneapolis and Minnesota.

The rallies, including events in Albany and New York City, are being held in solidarity with the Minneapolis AFL-CIO and its call for a general strike in Minnesota to oppose vicious and increasingly violent ICE raids there and across the country. ICE agents have been given free rein to detain or arrest people — far too many of them U.S. citizens or immigrants who are in our country legally — without cause, justification or due process.

On Friday, Jan. 23, we encourage you to:

• Wear blue to show solidarity;
• Share photos and videos on social media or update your social media profile to show solidarity;
• Attend a local ICE OUT rally or march.

Please bring UUP-branded "ICE OUT FOR GOOD"/"In Solidarity with Minnesota" signs to your rallies and marches. You can download the signs, which you can print at home, by clicking HERE for 8-inch x 11.5-inch signs and HERE for 11-inch by 17-inch signs.

UUP members planning to attend ICE OUT rallies are asked to share information with UUP Organizing & Outreach Assistant Mary Becker at mbecker@uupmail.org. Doing so will help UUP connect, coordinate and amplify efforts.

“UUP stands for democracy and the rule of law,” said UUP President Fred Kowal. “With these principles under assault, we have joined with other unions in condemning the actions of the Trump regime and specifically ICE. As part of our resistance, we are sharing important information to allow our members to join in actions of peaceful resistance.”
