Action #3
CALL YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS
5 Calls does the research for each issue, determining which representatives are most influential for which topic, collecting phone numbers for those offices and writing scripts so you don't have to!
(Sometimes their scripts are long. Editing to 1-2 sentences is fine!)
​
The landscape is constantly changing on immigration issues. We encourage you to check 5calls often and call often!
Action #4
Know Your Rights
PLEASE SHARE WIDELY
Action # 5
THE SHOELACE PROJECT
Why Shoelaces?
​
ICE removes all shoelaces and belts
to prevent suicide.
​
Here's a link to a group that is doing
something about this problem.
​
This is a great project for a community
or faith organization!
Action #6
How Amazon is Powering ICE
and What You Can Do
Immigrant justice organizers like Mijente and Bay Resistance are getting wise to target business interests that help run ICE infrastructure. For instance, the online mega-retailer Amazon is a key part of the conditions that make ICE raids possible, by offering the underlying database technology and facial recognition software to ICE and related agencies.
​
Tell Amazon to Stop Powering ICE
​
Amazon Alternatives provides information if you are thinking about giving up Amazon purchases and links you to a campaign to support Amazon workers' living wages as well.

Action #7
Build a house for a family in need in
one weekend with Casas de Luz!
Casas de Luz is a home building organization in Tijuana. This organization helps people, including families that have been deported, in Tijuana who need homes. This is a way to make a difference in a family's life in one weekend and it doesn't cost a lot of money to participate.
CDL brings youth and adults from the US and Mexico together to build. Expertise and building materials from both sides of the border are used. Donations from the U.S. provide doors, windows, cabinets, furniture, appliances, and more in order to furnish the homes.
Their vision is to empower individuals and families on both sides of the border to recognize their potential and create change in this world.
The Casas de Luz website gives thorough information about the weekend schedule and what to expect. They welcome anyone who is interested in volunteering!
