ICE is an intentional project of dehumanization by the state. Abolishing ICE requires more than moving officers out of communities. It requires undermining this political project to dehumanize those who live in our communities. It requires all people and institutions of conscience to deploy all forms of power in this fight: grassroots, political, philanthropic, cultural, and corporate.

But how?

At NPQ’s spring Learn Out Loud event, you’ll hear from people and institutions actively resisting ICE’s violation of human rights using different levers of power: cultural, political, and economic. Whether it’s block-level protection of neighbors, rapid response mutual aid, or a transformational 13-minute narrative concert by Bad Bunny, we all can undermine ICE’s dehumanization project.

However, to do so effectively, strategically, and collectively, we need to center—and learn from—community members deploying, moving, and redistributing power in all its forms to push back on ICE.

Learn about what has worked and what hasn’t, and what power you can mobilize as a nonprofit worker, funder, artist, or community member.

Learn Out Loud is a quarterly, live-only webinar series convening nonprofit, movement, and philanthropic leaders for candid, practice-focused conversations on the sector’s most urgent challenges.
