Take Action

There are three spokes of non-violent protest: litigation, policy and direct action.

Keep an eye on this space and choose your flavor.

The antidote to despair is action. – Joan Baez

On Friday, January 23, Indivisible Albany, Troy Indivisible and other activist groups from the Greater Capital Region Indivisible Coalition will rally in West Capitol Park in solidarity with the People of Minnesota and to demand action from our state and local leaders to protect our own communities from the terrorism of ICE, Border Patrol and the Trump Administration.

The indiscriminate violence of the federal government’s mass deportation campaign is not constrained to Minnesota, and is already at our Capital Region doorstep. Just last week, a migrant family from our community — a single mother with two children in Albany schools — was detained at their scheduled appearance at the DHS facility in Malta. Despite their credible asylum claim, this family of three was transported to Texas and faces immediate deportation to their country of origin, which the family had previously fled to escape death threats and fear of sexualized violence. This unabashed cruelty to a mother and her children is unAmerican and does nothing to keep our Country safe.

As the People of Minnesota resist the unprecedented occupation of their communities by masked and federalized goon squads, we stand beside them. Americans are repulsed by the lawless cruelty being waged by our own federal government on immigrants and citizens alike in Minnesota and across the nation. As we all wonder when and if our own neighborhoods will be the next to be invaded by federal forces, we call on elected and community leaders of every stripe and persuasion to stand beside the People of the Capital Region and demand

ICE Out of Albany!

ICE Out of Minnesota!

ICE Out of America!
