Wednesday, July 1 - Reject Funding for ICE and Border Patrol / We The People Ice Cream Social 7/11 / LGBTQ+ Youth Meetings
Community Action: Defund ICE and Border Patrol
In June, Congress passed the S.2 reconciliation bill that provides ICE and Border Patrol with $70 billion in new funding for mass detention and deportation on top of last year’s unprecedented funds. Now Congress is debating whether to give these same agencies an additional $30 billion to carry out the administration's anti-immigrant agenda through the Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations process.
We demand that Congress:
Provide NO funding for ICE and Border Patrol in Fiscal Year 2027 appropriations.
Redirect taxpayer dollars away from the bloated budgets of ICE and Border Patrol to fund health care and other human needs.
Restrict the use of funds for further ICE detention expansion, including the use of funds to construct or renovate warehouse detention facilities.
👉 Congress must reject any fiscal year 2027 funding to ICE and Border Patrol!

Chapter Action: We The People: Popsicle & Ice Cream Social 7/11
Join us for a family-friendly summer gathering celebrating community, creativity, and connection!
We’ll be meeting for a day of summer treats and hands-on activities for all ages. Enjoy popsicles and ice cream bars, get creative with button and bracelet making and poster making, and spend time connecting with neighbors to kick off the summer. Be sure to bring blankets or chairs so you can relax and hang out in the park with us!
In a moment when things can feel overwhelming and scary, showing up for community (and democracy) matters more than ever. This is about choosing joy, solidarity, and looking out for one another.
Bring your friends, your kids, your creativity, and come hang out with us in the park!

How to make your voice heard—from engaging legislators to understanding the policy process
These sessions will highlight issues such as trans rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and community power, while giving you practical tools to advocate for the changes our communities deserve.
👉 Join the Statewide Network Meeting for LGBTQ+ Youth and Young Adults on July 29 and August 26.
