Stand Up Against ICE Raids! Trump is threatening our immigrant loved ones and neighbors with mass raids and deportations. We're standing up against his racist and repressive attacks. The day any raids take place, we'll gather at 5:00 pm at ICE HQ. Raids tear apart families and cast a shadow on whole communities, making it difficult to go to work, school or live free from fear. Let's stand together – and respond with power, not panic. Watch this event page and text RESIST to 41411 for updates. Sponsored by Bay Resistance and AROC: Arab Resource and Organizing Center. Location: ICE Headquarters, 630 Sansome St. San Francisco Monday, July 1 • 9:30 – 11:00 am
