No blank check for ICE

Our ads are working. Now we need to scale up.

Pamela, We're already hearing from people who hadn't ever heard of Common Cause, or taken action to rein in ICE, until they saw this ad: Trump is still refusing to budge on his demand that Congress hand $10 billion more to ICE, with zero accountability. Now, he's sending ICE to airports – hoping to directly strongarm the public into writing him another blank check. But today, the thousands of travelers stuck in line at the Philadelphia airport are seeing our ad that explains why they're waiting – and solves it with a simple, common-sense demand: ICE out of our airports. [1] Our strategy is working. Nobody's happy with their government after they spend hours waiting in a security line – so we're recruiting them into a groundswell of opposition to ICE's lawlessness and Trump's use of our public infrastructure to power his mass deportation agenda. But to stop this, we have to go bigger. We have an ambitious plan to place these ads in more states than Pennsylvania – targeting any senator who is wavering on what should be a very basic demand: Not one cent of taxpayer money for yet another "blank check" for ICE. Pamela, I'm writing to you for help today because if you think this is the right strategy, and now is the right moment to go all out, I need your help to expand this ad campaign to other airports. The situation is escalating. The administration is refusing to pay TSA agents, turning airports into shows of intimidation, and manufacturing a crisis to try and force the political outcome they want. If Congress gives in, it'll only teach Trump that turning up the fear factor works and invite further abuses. Common Cause is drawing a line in the sand. We are using these ads to make sure the public knows exactly who is to blame and turn that moment of individual anger into collective action. The good news is, the initial data we're seeing shows these ads work. But they're not free – so if you want to help us keep the pressure on, run these ads even longer, and expand to even more airports, please chip in today. Pamela, this next week will be critical for our work to hold Trump, ICE, and DHS accountable for what they're doing to our country. Can you help us scale up this ad campaign and make sure nobody can miss our message?
