Dear Teachers,

We want to thank you for all your work with the students in our community. These supplies are just a small way of showing how much we appreciate you. You will never know the difference you make in your student’s lives. By supporting you with these supplies, it helps us make a difference as well.

Wednesday, January 7th, an American citizen was killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This killing is part of a broader pattern of unchecked violence, impunity, and abuse carried out by federal immigration enforcement agencies against members of our communities.

A broad coalition of groups across the country is calling for a coordinated Ice Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10th and Sunday, January 11th to demand accountability, honor the life lost, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s actions.
