IMCPA&F Weekly Newsletter 6.5.25

Hello, Indivisibles,

URGENT. A massive ICE raid is expected to take place very soon across the state of Pennsylvania. Please tell your immigrant friends to stay home. We have been informed that the ICE raid is imminent. Expect to see a massive ICE response equal to what has happened in Massachusetts. Please be vigilant and look for ways to get involved below. Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) will be formed, so keep an eye on Signal if you’re able to take action quickly.


📌Overall Update📌

  • ICE alerts have been issued. Here are several community groups to follow and communicate with to get involved: Community for Change in Norristown, Unides Para Servir Norristown, Montgomery County Commissioners (Jamila Winder and Neil Mahkija).

  • Ready for NO KINGS on June 14th? We are filling a bus to Philly from KOP for the 6/14 No Kings protest. If you or someone you know is interested in riding with us, please sign up here! See the events section below to sign up for a rally near you!

  • Our IMCPANF Civil Rights focus group is organizing a yard sign sale benefiting the Welcome PA Project, who serves marginalized individuals, families, and communities. Order one today! Signs are $10 each, and you may choose from the listed options. Pickup arrangements can be made during your order.

  • Opportunities to get involved:

    • Medics and donations needed for protest safety! SMASH medics are accepting supply donations and trained medical volunteers to be present and respond to protest medical needs. They are also accepting donations too!

    • Marshals needed for the Philadelphia No Kings protest (6/14). This will be a large-scale event, and our safety and peace are of our utmost priority. Training will be provided. 

    • Volunteers needed for the All Together Now pride event (7/12)! Please complete the survey linked to learn more.

    • MCDC (Montgomery County Democratic Committee) liaisons needed. We are in need of members to be in communication with MCDC and our group to keep information flowing between our groups. This would entail attending their meetings and communicating with IMCPANF co-chairs. Email IMCPANF@gmail.com if interested. 

    • Leafleting: We are partnering with our PA Indivisible groups to print door-hanger/leaflets to distribute to neighbors in you area. You choose your territory. The goal is to educate our neighbors on the latest decisions impacting our community. Our first area of focus is tariffs (see attached photo). Email imcpanf@gmail.com if interested. 

    • Text banking: Did you know that we have a chance to rope in unregistered voters at a success rate of 93%? We are teaming up with Field Team 6 to use data-driven methods to register likely democratic voters. You do not need to use your cell phone. Check out our events below for more information.

 Calls to Action To-Do List:

Local Impact:

  • Click here to copy, paste, and send a letter to our Montgomery County Commissioners asking them to pass the Welcoming Act.

  • Click here to copy, paste, and send a letter to our Montgomery County Commissioners thanking them for their actions to support immigrants and urging future action in making MONTCO a “Welcoming County.”

  • Let’s put the pressure on State House Majority Leader Bradford to purge greed from our politics. He is the primary obstruction for most of our pro-democracy bills (and he is also the primary obstruction for an upcoming pro-immigration bill). Our calls to action for him can be found at www.Giftban.org with further information.

Thanks for your great efforts. Keep up the great work, and be safe!
