A year ago today we were outside Elberon Development Group's office, the landlords to CoreCivic at the Elizabeth Detention Ctr, holding a teach-in on the history and current conditions there. We demanded ICE #FreeThemAll @rizzo_pubhist facebook.com/whitstrub/vide…
The day before this event, but after a great deal of community pressure, Elberon announced that it would be working to end its lease with CoreCivic. #NoBusinessWithICE njspotlight.com/2020/07/elizab…
2 months earlier, @afscIRP, @nyulaw & @ImmDefense had filed a class action lawsuit to release everyone at the EDC due to dangerous conditions during the pandemic. The demand was to #FreeThemAll. #ReleasesNotTransfers champ.gothamist.com/champ/gothamis…
This is one good action.
But not great.
And we must not let it deflate our critiques and organizing against Bezos/Amazon's many persistent bad actions.

Why is this good, not great?
Bezos gave to his own fund. Its focus is mitigating the effects of #ClimateCrisis.
He should have given to @sunrisemvmt (to build the political power to make a #GreenNewDeal) & to UN's Green Climate Fund. These *prevent* worsening climate emergency.

@sunrisemvmt And Bezos and Amazon are still causing direct harm to our climate.
And persecuting their employees who are organizing for Amazon to do better.
And Bezos political action is keeping us from meaningful, democratic, collective action.

Today about 30 protesters were arrested in New York City demonstrating against ICE.
"Abolish Ice!" they chanted as police put people in handcuffs who refused to leave the streets.

The protest's theme was #NoBusinessWithICE.
Despite New York being a "sanctuary city," the activists point out that some New York companies like Thomson Reuters have data contracts with ICE.
Protesters say #AbolishICE and end the contracts.

A look at Cosecha in the last decade...
2013: Comprehensive immigration fails in Congress, again. A group of immigrant rights & labor organizers come together to figure out why we *still* can't win reform for the 11 million undocumented immigrants. washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/w…

2015: After over a yr of strategizing, Cosecha launches with its first training.
Our biggest insight: electing Dems and lobbying for CIR isn't working bc we just don't have the leverage. But there was a time when we did have it...the mega marches of 2006. npr.org/templates/stor…

So Cosecha launches with a vision: What if undocumented immigrants recreated the mega marches, at the time were the largest protests in US history? What if millions of immigrant workers went on strike and took to the streets, not just for a day, but for an entire week?
BOSTON: We’re gathering at the New England Holocaust Memorial, getting ready to march against the businesses in our community making money helping ICE persecute immigrants.

We were raised with the stories of our ancestors and our people. We don’t make comparisons to the Holocaust lightly.
What we see happening to immigrants of color in the U.S. looks like the early stages of what happened to us and others in Nazi Germany.

ICE and CBP can’t do their evil work alone. They rely on the greed of corporations who see our immigrant neighbors living in fear & living in cages, and see dollar signs instead of human beings.
It’s up to us to make it stop: #NoBusinessWithICE!
