In response to the terrifying intensification of ICE over the past year, communities are mobilizing to protect each other, publicly denounce ICE, and form campaigns to peel away corporate support of ICE to weaken the various sources of ICE’s financial, political, and reputational power.

Here are six areas that you can dig into to understand possible points of leverage against a corporate enabler of ICE.

2. Government Subsidies: many corporations take advantage of government assistance in the form of subsidies and tax breaks to finance their operations. As was the case in the Stop Avelo campaign, you can push your elected officials to pass legislation to end these corporate handouts.

3. Look for government contracts With DHS and ICE. You can start by searching the USASpending.gov website which is the official listing of federal awards.

4. Corporations often maintain power by creating partnerships with academic institutions, non-profits, civic organizations, and local governments. Campaigners can pressure local institutions to drop these relationships.
