JUSTICE FOR ALEX PRETTI RALLY + STANDOUT
January 31 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm EST
Friday, January 24th, an American citizen, Alex Pretti was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.
Avelo Airlines has become the first commercial airline to contract with ICE for secretive deportation flights—flights with no guarantees of due process or legal counsel. We’re organizing nationwide to make it politically and publicly impossible for them to keep profiting from human rights abuses. Our targets include the airports where Avelo operates, universities that may have ongoing partnerships with Avelo, and states and localities subsidizing them with public dollars. Whether you’re planning a protest, a teach-in, a visibility action, or a meeting with decision-makers, your event is part of a growing movement to force Avelo to cancel its ICE contract and to send a clear message to every other corporation: if you cooperate with deportation, you’ll face consequences.
A core principle behind all events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. We expect hosts to ensure all participants in your event uphold this commitment.
