Endorse the march
We are marching on ICE! Join us in Washington, DC this Saturday and bring the message directly to the headquarters of the agency most responsible for carrying out Trump’s wave of repression against student activists who took a stand against genocide. After gathering at Pennsylvania Ave and 3rd St NW, we will march to ICE HQ.
We will demand freedom for Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, and Badar Khan Suri — and an end to the persecution of all students who are guilty of nothing other than exercising their right to free speech. This march will send a powerful message that the people of this country reject Trump’s crackdown on the right to protest, just like we reject our tax dollars being used to massacre people in Gaza. And we will show solidarity with the millions of immigrant families who have been targeted by Trump’s racist mass deportation campaign.
The world was shocked when video emerged of plainclothes ICE agents abducting Rumeysa Ozturk on her way to break her Ramadan fast. We cannot allow this to become the new normal! We are marching on ICE to show that we will not let them take away our most basic rights.
Everyone who believes in the First Amendment and opposes genocide needs to be in DC on April 5. Bus tickets are still available from many of the 30+ transportation centers across the country.

ETA:
Dr. Noor Abdalla, Mahmoud Khalil’s wife, issued a video statement this morning urging supporters of her husband’s cause to attend the national march for Palestine in Washington D.C. this Saturday!
Watch the video here
Dr. Abdalla speaks on the importance of continuing the struggle amidst Trump’s ongoing and escalating repression. Mahmoud, who has been detained for 25 days now, was targeted in a politically motivated detention that sought to make an example out of his vocal opposition to the genocide and occupation of his homeland.
She issued a clear call to action: “The time to show up is now. I urge you to take a bus, take a car, take a plane or take a train and show up at 1:00 p.m. We need to show up in large numbers and make it known that the people will never consent to the massacre in Gaza.”
