Partner Action: Fight Against ICE Overreach

 

ICE is disappearing students, professors, workers, and lawful residents — not for crimes, but for speaking out or simply existing in the wrong place at the wrong time. People are being taken without warning, denied legal help, and held in remote detention centers.

Even worse, the "One Big Beautiful Bill" will pour even more money into ICE, expanding the very machinery being used to punish dissent.

In recent months, ICE has detained people on valid visas — including green card holders, students, and workers — with no charges or due process. Mahmoud Khalil, Rümeysa Öztürk, Badar Khan Suri, and Mohsen Mahdawi were abducted by plainclothes agents, cut off from family and legal teams, and denied basic rights.

This is a crisis — a direct attack on civil liberties.

State Attorneys General must act. They can investigate ICE, sue to stop rights violations, and defend sanctuary protections. 

👉 Use Indivisible's email form to send a note to your AG now and demand they take action.

Partner Action: Indivisible Co-Founder Call TODAY

Overwhelmed and wondering what comes next? The 24/7 onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House and on Capitol Hill – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back.

The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.

Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week, as we carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan.

👉 Join the call every Thursday at 2 p.m. CT

ICA Action: Write Postcards to Virginia

Thanks to everyone who has written postcards to Virginia so far for their November Governor race! You are all incredible. It is time for the next wave of writing.

Indivisible Chicago Alliance still has postcards from Postcards to Swing States to send to Virginia voters urging them to vote in their Governor and down ballot races in November. This is a state race, but one with national implications. The Virginia race pits former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, vs. Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, a MAGA Republican. In addition to the Governor race, it is critical to maintain the Democratic majority in the House of Delegates — where Democrats hold the narrowest of margins, 51-49.

👉 Want to host a postcard party or write postcards on your own? Contact Pat Graham at pat@indivisiblechicago.com

👉 We are also distributing postcards at locations in Lakeview and Lincoln Square. Contact pat@indivisiblechicago.com for details, along with the number of postcards you want and your preferred pick-up location!

ICA provides the postcards, address list and script. Writers provide the stamps for their written postcards and mail on October 15th. Stay tuned for ICA future postcard parties via Mobilize.

While some of these Daily Actions come from our own work as Indivisible Chicago Alliance, others are from our many partners working to advance the progressive agenda. We invite you to join us in supporting their work. Postings from partners do not imply Indivisible Chicago Alliance endorsement of specific policies and positions.
