Tuesday, we delivered copies of the ICE OUT OF ATX petition (with more than 10K signatures) to all Austin City Council Members, the Police Chief, the Mayor, and the City Manager. Thank YOU for signing!

👀 Next Steps Look Like...

1) The city is having a "community conversation" event on Tuesday, January 27th to address the concerns of Austinites worried about APD & ICE collaboration.

Join in-person or via ZOOM: bit.ly/community-convo1
🕕 Doors & food at 6:00 p.m. | Presentation and Q&A 6:30-7:30 p.m.
📍 Montopolis Rec Center Gym, 1200 Montopolis Dr.
🗣️ Spanish interpretation services will be provided

2) We've launched a fundraiser for the legal fees of an Austin father detained by ICE. Austin Sanctuary Network and Hands Off Central TX are raising $5k for the legal fees of an Austin father fighting to stay with his wife and two sons (including an active-duty service member). Support: chuffed.org/project/ericgm
