ICE is bad for business. Let’s make sure CEOs know it.

We can't ignore the network of powerful corporations helping make ICE's violence possible.

Win Without War

Pamela: After ICE left a trail of violence in Minneapolis, opposition to Trump's lawless immigration force is reaching new heights.

The faces of Trump's immigration enforcement — Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Border Patrol officer Gregory Bovino — are facing heat and consequences, and long-term funding for Trump's deportation machine is on the rocks.

It's crucial progress — but we have to go further. As critical resistance to ICE's lawlessness grows, we can't ignore the network of powerful corporations that help make its violence possible.

From tech giants like Amazon, AT&T, and Microsoft, to retailers like Home Depot, to controversial data-mining firm Palantir, their lucrative contracts and corporate collaboration allow ICE to carry out its violent, large-scale enforcement campaign across the country.

Without the cloud computing, surveillance software, communications infrastructure, and logistical cooperation these corporations provide, ICE couldn't function. That's why we need to speak out and ensure that companies know enabling hate and militarism has a cost.

Sign on to tell CEOs of Amazon, AT&T, Home Depot, Microsoft, and Palantir to STOP profiting from ICE's violence by ending their collaborations.

ACT NOW

Public pressure makes a huge difference, Pamela. It helped free five-year-old Liam and his father from an ICE detention center just this weekend, got messages of 'ICE OUT' front and center at the Grammys, and is pushing Congress to stop funding ICE.

Consumers have power, and they flexed it days ago with a nationwide general strike, an economic blackout, inspired by the courageous activists in Minneapolis who are protecting their communities.

They flexed it back in September too after Trump weaponized the FCC against Jimmy Kimmel. People rallied to sign petitions, make phone calls, and even boycott ABC's parent company, Disney. That pressure from consumers led Disney to defy the Trump admin and put the late-night television host back on air.

Every time we take actions to hold corporations or politicians accountable, we're showing up for our values and reminding them actions have consequences.

We know what keeps us safe, and it's not the technology or tools that help ICE track, detain, and deport families. It's also not billions of dollars worth of tax breaks that Amazon, AT&T, Home Depot, Microsoft, and Palantir have received in recent years — windfalls that could have been used to invest in communities, but were instead funneled into stock buybacks, executive pay, and ICE-linked contracts.

If there's anything corporations care about, it's their brand. Let's make the cost of profiting off of harm and hate too high to bear.

ICE is bad for business, Pamela. Tell Amazon, AT&T, Home Depot, Microsoft, and Palantir to stop enabling violence and end their contracts NOW!

Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
