Watching ICE’s actions against immigrants, and now nearly any person in the U.S., can leave us feeling overwhelmed and powerless. In the spirit of Gospel Nonviolence, we offer the following resources to suggest actions to resist ICE and all it stands for.

Here also is a link to the Boycott Citizens Bank campaign, as the bank is helping invest/fund companies involved with ICE and private prisons, etc. There’s info on letter writing, closing accounts, changing your own investments, etc.
