The Zoom meetings for this campaign are now scheduled bi-weekly on Sunday 2pm. The upcoming meeting is scheduled for October 19.

An Avelo Airlines boycott is ongoing, led by immigration rights groups and community activists to protest the airline's contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to operate deportation flights. Protesters cite concerns about the human rights implications of these flights and the business decision to profit from them, leading to rallies at airports and a nationwide campaign urging people to stop flying Avelo.

Reasons for the Boycott
  • ICE Deportation Flights:
    The primary reason for the boycott is Avelo Airlines' agreement to charter deportation flights for ICE.
  • Humanitarian Concerns:
    Activists argue that these flights violate fundamental human rights and contradict American values, especially in communities that consider themselves sanctuary cities.
  • Business Profit from Deportation:
    Critics are also angered by Avelo's decision to make money from deportation, which is seen as a morally problematic business choice.
