This week in Danbury, at least 65 families have been torn apart by ICE’s abduction. On Monday 16 of our neighbors were abducted, on Tuesday 10 of our neighbors were abducted, on Wednesday 22 of our neighbors were abducted, and on Thursday 14 of our neighbors were abducted — while up to a dozen ICE vehicles patrolled our city each day.

We cannot tolerate masked agents violently abducting and racially profiling our communities.

We cannot stand by while our neighbors are targeted and our community is threatened. That's why we’re coming together with partners and local business on Wednesday to host a DAY WITHOUT AN IMMIGRANT — STRIKE & MARCH on September 2nd

⏰ Wednesday Sept 2nd, 5:00 PM

📍 Danbury Public Library, 170 Main St, Danbury, CT

Danbury is a city where all of our neighbors are welcome. Danbury is a city whose strength comes from our diversity. We’re coming together to keep Danbury a welcoming city for all! Now is the time to join us.

Local businesses are declaring a “DAY WITHOUT AN IMMIGRANT” on Sept 2nd. They will close their doors to show the power of immigrant communities and those who support them in Connecticut.

We're asking YOU to stand in solidarity. On Sept 2nd - Don’t go to work. Don’t go to school. Don’t go shopping. Join us at 5pm for a rally.

In the last week, our neighbors were abducted in front of a day care, in a grocery store parking lot, driving to work, in front of their houses, and when dropping off their kids at a school bus stop. Tuesday was the first day of school for our kids and as kids and parents were heading out to the bus stop or walking to school, they saw ICE vehicles lying in wait to hunt our neighbors, they saw cars left on the side of the road with lights still blinking as their drivers were violently ripped from their communities.
