As the World Cup comes to Atlanta, we draw attention to the increased ICE presence our communities are experiencing. Rather than watching the games, many families are detained in deplorable conditions, including in the ICE Field Office just 0.5 miles from the stadium. We urge you not to look away.

Politicians who created a voting machine funding crisis are now using their self-imposed deadline to rush a special session where they can quietly rewrite election rules. Georgia deserves better than a democracy by manufactured emergency. #GeorgiaRedistricting #FairMaps #EveryLineShapesOurFuture

Necessary Trouble GA@necessarytroublega· Jun 14

Redistricting 101: When maps are manipulated, politicians pick their voters instead of voters picking their representatives. Fair maps = real accountability. That's the whole game. #EveryLineShapesOurFuture #KnowYourDistrict #Redistricting #FairMaps #GeorgiaVotes #Democracy #PackTheCapitol

An emergency summer session to redraw maps? That's not routine — that's a desperate rush to lock in political control before Georgia's changing population changes the math. Fair maps are the foundation of a fair democracy. #GeorgiaVotes #FairMaps #EveryLineShapesOurFuture #Redistricting

Silence is a choice. We are calling on @HomeDepot to take a clear and public stand against immigration enforcement at its stores. ✍🏽 We are urging community members, customers, workers, contractors, faith leaders, organizers, and local organizations to WRITE A LETTER to Home Depot leadership.

A letter style graphic stamped example in red. A letter template that reads. To Home Depot Leadership,
My name is [YOUR NAME], and I am a [customer / worker / contractor / community member] who regularly interacts with Home Depot stores in [CITY/STATE]. I am writing because I am deeply concerned about what is happening in and around Home Depot locations and the harm being caused by silence. Home Depot must take a clear and public stand.First, end all data-sharing with law enforcement. Second, strengthen security in ways that protect rights, not violate them. Third, train all employees company-wide on their rights and responsibilities. Finally, Home Depot must publicly show support for the communities it serves. This means affirming opposition to unconstitutional ICE enforcement practices that are harmful to families and communities.I am asking Home Depot to do the right thing. People’s safety depends on it.

Where to send your letter: Online Form: https://corporate.homedepot.com/contact In Person: Take to local Home Depot Store and speak to the manager about getting your letter to Headquarters. E-Mail: Ted Decker, CEO ted_decker@homedepot.com Mail: The Home Depot, Inc. 2455 Paces Ferry Road NW Atlanta, GA 30339

Graphic with Bold orange text that reads “Our Demands”
1. End The Home Depot contract with Flock Safety and require that any The Home Depot data collection contractors not share data with law enforcement without a warrant.
2. Implement new security protocols to prevent unconstitutional entry and protect The Home Depot employees' rights.
Clearly mark “private” employee areas, post signage, and educate staff that law enforcement needs a judicial warrant to access those spaces.
Create a safety plan to protect employees, customers, and day laborers in stores and parking lots from racial profiling, harassment, and ICE-related arrests.
3. Host all-staff training: Ensure all The Home Depot employees in all The Home Depot stores know what their rights are and how to protect themselves when approached by federal agents.
4. Publicize your support: Signal to staff, patrons, and the wider community that The Home Depot is opposed to unconstitutional entry by federal agents and believes that ICE’s current approach to enforcing immigration policy is excessive and harmful to our communities.
