Days later, the New Haven Immigrants Coalition launched a public campaign, viral petition, and boycott of Avelo Airlines in a series of pickets at the terminal of Tweed-New Haven Regional Airport, the airline’s largest passenger hub. The campaign has gained tremendous support locally including from a majority of the New Haven City Council and the Connecticut Attorney General, and the coalition is working to strip Avelo of state and city subsidies until it cuts the contract with ICE. In May, DSA endorsed the national boycott and DSA’s International Migrant Rights Working Group began building a national coordinating structure for the over 40 DSA chapters with a presence in one of Avelo’s 55 destination cities. We are coordinating along with partners across the country to call on Avelo airlines to end their dirty ICE contract, and all public and private partners of the airline to end their partnerships with Avelo until they do so. This includes municipalities, corporations, investors like the Manhattan-based Jefferies investment bank, universities, unions, and more! Join us in calling on Avelo airlines to end the contract! Use this platform to send 54 emails in one click to CEO Andrew Levy, top management of Avelo Airlines, and top Jefferies investment bank executives demanding they stop doing Trump’s dirty work! https://actionnetwork.org/letters/boycott-avelo
