"Let's Get RADICAL!" Under Siege: a reflection on Elementary School Social Studies

"The devastating killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good are devastating reminders that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol are not making our communities safer. Instead, they are operating with impunity, using deadly force in broad daylight, terrorizing neighborhoods, and tearing young children from their families. These are not isolated incidents. ICE and Border Patrol have been unleashed into our cities to carry out violence and abuse without consequence. How many more people must die before our leaders act? This is what unchecked, militarized immigration enforcement looks like. The Trump administration’s cruel and unlawful anti-immigration agenda is killing people—and then they’re lying about it. Not one more dime should be spent enabling this horror. Your voice is urgently needed to STOP THIS." - Amy Fischer of Amnesty International. 🕯 [https://www.amnestyusa.org/blog/call-347-514-6400-now-to-tell-congress-not-another-dime-for-ice-or-border-patrol/] 📲 Call Your Senators Today Call 347-514-6400 [tel:3475146400] now to be connected to your senators and follow the guidance below (you can even read it like a script) to urge them to use their legislative power to stop any new funding for DHS, ICE, and CBP and demand real accountability: 1. Dial 347-514-6400 or [tel:3475146400] find a Senator's office phone number using the Senate.gov [http://Senate.gov] directory [https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm], California State Senate website [https://www.senate.ca.gov/citizens-guide/faqs], or official House.gov [http://House.gov] for representatives. 2. Identify yourself as a constituent and tell them what city or town you’re calling from. If you don’t feel safe sharing your last name, don’t. ⬅️ 3. Be Specific: Mention specific bill numbers or policy topics.. Say that you’re deeply concerned about CBP and ICE’s dangerous, militarized enforcement — especially after the recent killings by federal agents in Minneapolis and a two-decade record of 32 people dying in detention last year. 4. Share that you know that Congress is finalizing the Homeland Security funding bill right now, and that you urge the senator to oppose any additional funding. Not one more dime! 5. Make it clear that we don’t want more masked agents in our communities, terrorizing our family, friends, and neighbors, and locking them up without due process. We need to rein in the Trump administration’s reckless abuses of the rights of immigrants and communities under the guise of immigration enforcement. 6. Leave a Voicemail: If calling after hours, leave a brief, detailed message. Most of the time you will be leaving a voicemail anyway! Example Script: "Hello, my name is [Your Name] and I am a constituent from [Your City]. I am calling to urge Senator [Name] to [support/oppose] [Bill Number or Topic]. This is important to me because [Brief Reason]". You can also try: "In just the last four months, federal immigration officers have shot at least nine people across five states and Washington, D.C. It's a national crisis." 📢 S T A Y R A D I C A L.
