#JewsAgainstICE Tisha B’Av Action

#JewsAgainstICE Tisha B’Av Action

Join Lab/Shul’s Justice Team us on the ninth day of the month of Av to lift up our voices in prayer and mourning. Because Never Again means never again for anybody.

25 immigrants have died in ICE custody during the Trump administration. Join us this coming Tisha B’Av, a day of communal mourning, to grieve the people tracked and killed by this system and to raise our voices for an end to the inhumane treatment of people seeking freedom.

Corporations like Amazon and Palantir contract with and profit off of ICE and Trump’s deportation machine. We will not stand by and let these companies make money off of the suffering of migrants and asylum seekers. If Congress won’t rein them in, the people will. This Tisha B’av, we will gather to mourn the immigrant lives lost because of Amazon and Palantir’s decision to collude with ICE.

Tisha B’Av, the ninth day of the month of Av, is the major day of communal mourning in the Jewish calendar. On Sunday, August 11 at 2pm, join Congregation Beit Simchat Torah – CBST, T’ruah, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice [JFREJ], Romemu, Lab/Shul, Flatbush Jewish Center, SAJ-Judaism that Stands for All, Fort Tryon Jewish Center, and Malkhut for a deeply Jewish observance of Tisha B’av – gather, learn, pray, and demonstrate our bold, spiritual resistance by calling out Amazon’s ties to ICE and the Trump deportation machine.

This Tisha B’Av, we will take our collective mourning to Amazon’s doorstep. We will join our allies at Mijente & Make the Road New York to shut down and #DisarmICE.

Because when Jews say never again, we mean it.
