Petition for Public Officials to Stand Against ICE on Long Island

Despite huge outcries from across LI, ICE is only increasing its brutal campaign of fear and brutal abductions. In response, leaders in LI’s immigrant community have organized petitions to LI’s congressional delegation and numerous Nassau County agencies and officials in response to the surge in ICE activity that is terrorizing our communities.

Below are links to ad your name to the petitions to join a growing chorus of Long Islanders standing for justice, including 215 LI faith leaders who have signed on to a joint letter condemning ICE’s actions.

Starbucks Sip-In in Oceanside

LI Starbucks workers are once again calling for community support, this time in Oceanside where an election will take place at the end of the month. Showing your support is as simple as visiting the store, ordering a drink with the name Union Strong, leaving a cash tip, and hanging out for a while to let the workers know you stand with them. The sip in will be happening between 12 and 4PM this Saturday July 27th.

If you plan on attending please let us know by emailing kpfalzer.lijwj@gmail.com!

In Solidarity,

Long Island Jobs with Justice
