Indivisible Action: Solidarity with Delaney Hall
In the last year, massive federal funding has poured into ICE and Border Patrol, giving them the resources to expand their detention and deportation operations for years to come. The administration is trying to use this money to do a massive expansion in detention facilities across the country. And it doesn’t end there. Republicans in Congress intend to jam through billions more in funding for Trump’s mass deportation machine.
One example of this horrifying expansion is happening at Delaney Hall detention facility in Newark, NJ where people are living in horrifying conditions: contaminated food, rancid water, no access to health care. Conditions have been so desperate that four people have broken through the walls to escape. In the first year since opening, Delaney Hall has also had a death under confusing circumstances. Things have now come to a disturbing head.
Over Memorial Day weekend, Members of Congress and local activists visited the facility, demanding the right to exercise their legal oversight authority to see what was happening inside the detention center. Instead of complying, ICE pepper-sprayed them and blocked them from accessing detainees. Senator Andy Kim, a United States Senator was pepper-sprayed by a federal agency for trying to do his job.
👉 Congress cannot look away. They must use every lever of power they have to demand dignity for immigrants and be in solidarity with the people in detention on hunger strike.
👉 Support immigrant bond funds and organizations providing direct support to detained people and their families.

Indivisible Action: LGBTQ+ Solidarity Call 6/16
As movements work to build lasting power, inclusive leadership and strategic solidarity are essential. Join us for Leading with Inclusion: Solidarity Across LGBTQ+ Communities, a conversation that celebrates the history, resilience, and leadership of LGBTQ+ people while exploring how we can strengthen movements through accountable allyship and inclusive practices.
This session will examine the challenges LGBTQ+ communities continue to face, particularly at the intersections of race, class, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Together, we will explore how systems of oppression impact LGBTQ+ people and learn practical strategies for creating more welcoming, affirming, and effective movement spaces.
👉 Join the call on Tuesday, June 16 from 6 – 7:30pm CT.
