antifainternational:PORTLAND REPORTBACK! When DHS cleared the part of the camp that was blocking the ICE driveway here in Portland last Thursday, they hired a pressure washing company to come wash the chalk messages off the ground. The company showed up, realized they were, in a very tiny way, aiding ICE, and they walked off the job. And then they brought pizza back for the folks in the OccupyICE camp beside the building.Did refusing to wash away those messages of “Abolish ICE” and “Families belong together” actually make a tangible difference for the currently separated families and the people currently facing deportation? No. But did it encourage and inspire us? Does seeing a company refuse service to ICE make it seem more possible for others to do the same? Yes, absolutely.So refuse to wash the ICE building. Refuse to sell tires to the transportation company that leases the buses to ICE. Refuse to operate the plane flying the children to the camps. Refuse to be part of the system. Don’t just “do your job,” follow your ethics and hang on to your humanity. -- source link
