With so much going on, it’s hard to know what to do or how to do it. Our weekly newsletters gather as much information as we can find and organize it to make taking action as easy and accessible as possible. You don’t have to do ALL the things, but you should do SOMETHING. Our most current edition is below, and you can sign up to receive future newsletters here.

June 7, 2026

We’ve had a weekend jam-packed with action, in which folks took part in joyfully defiant pickets demanding the de-ICE-ing of Citizens Bank; energizing, people-powered canvasses for Eon Huntley and Jabari Brisport; and an informative, inspiring training to protect our midterm elections. And, as you can see below, there’s lots more to do—and even more being planned. Missed Saturday’s People’s Picket? We’re planning to do more. Couldn’t make it to a canvass this weekend? There’s plenty more on the calendar, plus phone banking shifts for our endorsed candidates, too. Ain’t no power like the power of the people cause the power of the people don’t stop, as we say—and that’s because each of us does their part, doing what we can when we can, knowing that others are doing the same. That’s people power!

So, what are you going to do next? Well, first, with early voting starting this coming Saturday, you’re going to make your plan for voting. Read our #1 action below for tips on how to do so. And then read on and make your plans for what else you’re going to do in the coming week. See you soon!

You can learn about detainees’ organizing and demands, amplify posts on social media, contact media organizations and demand more coverage of the detainees’ organizing and demands, donate and share donation links, contact your congressmembers and amplify strikers’ demands, and reach out on Slack or at our GM to plan a trip to Delaney Hall.

Upcoming Events

Weekly Vigil for Democracy at Brooklyn’s ICE Jail: Every Tuesday at 6pm in Sunset Park. Join INBK and our fellow organizers at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Bay Ridge for our weekly vigil outside the Metropolitan Detention Center (Third Ave. & 29th St.), where 200 of our abducted neighbors have been imprisoned. Let’s stand firm against the inhumane treatment of our neighbors, and call for the release of all ICE detainees. Sing songs of resistance and bring signs to bear witness in solidarity. RSVP here to stay updated. See our full vigil list and make a plan to bring folks with you to one of these events.

MAGA v. Brad Lander Court Hearing: Wednesday, June 10 at 10am in Lower Manhattan. Last September, Brad was arrested with other electeds and activists during a coordinated sit-in on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza. The goal of the action was to bring attention and pressure to what ICE agents are doing at what was previously a standard immigration court, but has since become a detention trap for immigrants following their court dates. Instead of having the case dismissed, Brad pled not-guilty to the charge of Unreasonably Obstructing the Usual Use of the Property so that, through the discovery portion of the case, he can legally compel disclosure of what is taking place in the detention center and how this deviates from the usual use of the property. Show up in support of Brad's demand for transparency about what ICE is doing at 26 Federal Plaza by joining him outside the US District Court (Worth Street and Baxter Street) before the hearing. RSVP here.

NYC Against Hate Violence Lobby Day: Thursday, June 11 at 9:30am at City Hall. The NYC Against Hate Violence coalition is holding a lobby day to support funding public safety measures aimed at community-driven violence prevention through education, infrastructure, support, and solidarity. Let’s make sure our council members know about the NYC Against Hate Violence proposal and champion it in negotiations over the city budget, which is due at the end of June! We will do a short training on grassroots lobbying, and then we’ll visit council members' offices before their stated meeting in the afternoon. RSVP here.

Freedom Friday in Bay Ridge: Friday, June 12 at 5:30pm-6pm at Ovington & 4th Ave. Join a quick and joyful community demonstration of progressive democratic beliefs, with music and signs about the world we want. Signs are available on site for you, or bring your own to this family-friendly visibility event. No RSVP necessary.

More Ways to Resist this week

Write to Governor Hochul to sign legislation putting a pause on new data centers in New York. The explosion of data centers is one of the worst affordability and environmental threats facing New York, risking more fossil fuel pollution, strained water resources, and rising utility bills. On June 4, the legislature passed a bill establishing a one-year moratorium on new data centers in New York. Now, the governor must sign this bill to make it law. Use the tool from Food & Water Watch to email Governor Hochul and urge her to stand with the people, not the polluters!

Call Senators Schumer and Gillibrand now and tell them: OPPOSE the CLARITY Act. Last year, the House passed the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633), a bill disguised as “crypto regulation” but which actually serves the billionaires and bad actors at the center of today’s crypto chaos. This bill doesn’t protect consumers, doesn’t close money laundering loopholes, and does nothing to stop the biggest threat of all: Trump’s crypto-fueled bribery machine. Now, the CLARITY Act is being considered in the Senate. Unfortunately, 78 House Democrats helped pass the CLARITY Act in the House last summer. We need to make sure Senate Dems don’t make the same mistake. Use the tool from Indivisible to demand that our senators oppose this act.

Sign up for an immigration court watch shift with JFREJ. For the past year, masked ICE agents have been seizing immigrant NYers at mandatory court appointments, Jews for Racial and Economic Justice (JFREJ) organizes court watches to help keep our neighbors safer. Get trained to enter public courthouse buildings and provide direct support to our most vulnerable neighbors. JFREJ is also organizing rapid response in neighborhoods and advocating for New York for All and more policies to make New York safer for everyone who lives here. People of all faiths are welcome. Learn more here.

Curb the NYPD’s abuse of protesters. For years, the NYPD has been deploying the Strategic Response Group (SRG) – a counter-terrorism unit – to police protests. The CURB Act would prohibit the SRG from being deployed for crowd control purposes. It would also ban the NYPD from using the SRG’s most harmful tactics in protest settings, including kettling, pepper spray and tear gas, and other militarized tactics. Tell CM Feliz (Chair of Public Safety) to schedule a hearing using NYCLU’s phone tool or use their one-click email tool to tell the City Council to pass the CURB Act now.

Stand with the families of ICE detainees. After a period of relative quiet when agents were deployed at airports, ICE has returned to street abductions across NYC. You can learn about the families we are partnering with in South Brooklyn on standwithsouthbrooklyn.org, which includes GoFundMes. If you are able, giving even just $10 to each of the families at the top of the page would help our neighbors stay housed, cover living expenses, and support their detained loved ones. If you prefer to give to an organization, we recommend MiTlalli or our South Brooklyn Legal Support Fund, used for commissary and legal support.

In solidarity,
The INBK crew
