If you want to unite for the rights of immigrants, the Communities Not Cages Campaign is a great place to start. ICE’s detention centers are everywhere, which makes federal policy a local issue in communities nationwide. At Detention Watch Network, we can connect you with community organizing already happening in your area.
The abysmal conditions that are intrinsic to the fundamentally flawed detention system have been exacerbated with COVID-19. ICE detention facilities have become hotbeds of infection during the pandemic.
Detention Watch Network is a national membership organization that brings together advocates from diverse backgrounds to unify strategy, build partnerships and strengthen the movement to end immigration detention.
Important Update from the Defund Hate Campaign: Co-chairs United We Dream and Detention Watch Network and our partners have decided to sunset the Defund Hate campaign. Since the start of the Defund Hate Campaign, we blocked $15 BILLION from going to ICE and CBP! We are so grateful to have built this campaign with our supporters over its six years, banding together in the face of great threat to our communities to build a movement against harmful immigration enforcement funding.

#DefundHateThe federal government wastes more than $25 billion each year on ICE and CBP to profile, jail, and deport immigrants. Instead, our tax dollars need to be used to strengthen our families and communities.
