Abolish ICE ✊🏽 Mercado (Market)

The undoc+ (currently or formerly undocumented) community of Los Angeles is being wrongfully targeted by militarized mass deportations. Today, many fear leaving their homes to go to work or even get groceries. Countless individuals have gone missing, families are being torn apart, and our communities are no longer safe from persecution by the administration of this nation.

Abolish ICE ✊🏽 Mercado (Market) is the result of the arts community taking action beyond solidarity with undoc+ communities in LA. This event brings together artists and arts professionals to raise funds for the benefit of undoc+ people in our city!

On July 1st, we raised $15,000 at Human Resources, and 100% of the funds were divided equally between CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights) and Inclusive Action for the City.

On August 1st, we will host the second and last Mercado at Plaza de la Cultura y Artes, 100% of the funds raised this day will be divided equally between CIELO (Communidades Indigenas en Liderazgo), Inclusive Action for the City, and NDLON (National Day Laborer Organization Network).

The primary objective of this initiative is to support our community members who are most in need, ranging from the families of individuals who have gone missing to day laborers and street vendors who contribute to our city's nourishment and joy.

✊🏽 As long as even one of us is unlawfully targeted, nobody is equal under the law.
