US (STOP THE MONEY PIPELINE) : HILTON, stop housing ICE agents!

 

For a year now, Donald Trump’s administration has been using ICE to occupy our neighborhoods, tear families apart, and inflict terror and violence on those who show up to protect their neighbors.   Several corporations –– including Hilton Hotels –– are enabling ICE’s deadly “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota. As federal immigration agents remain in Minneapolis, Hilton Hotels has been providing these violent paramilitaries rooms to sleep in. And they’re also providing rooms for ICE agents in other cities across the country. Our friends at Sunrise Movement have been leading creative actions to get Hilton to stop housing ICE agents and you can join us in fighting back against corporations capitulating to Trump’s authoritarianism. Take action with Sunrise: Make a flexible rate room reservation at a Hilton hotel with free cancellation to help shut down these hotels until they stop housing ICE. Here’s how this tactic works: Activists like you have been booking out Hilton hotels (refundable), then cancelling the bookings last minute and telling Hilton exactly why. Hotels need to know that the cities they operate out of don’t want them housing ICE so they can terrorize our neighbors. Join us and hit Hilton where it hurts: its pockets and bottom line. Thousands of ICE agents require meals every day, rental cars, and beds to sleep in. And we have power there. We work in restaurants, car rental agencies, and hotels. Without cooperation and no beds to sleep in, ICE cannot function. If enough of us keep booking rooms en masse we can hurt Hilton’s profits and send the corporation a clear message: stop housing the ICE agents that are terrorizing our cities. Together we can build the necessary power to oppose Trump’s authoritarian and racist agenda. Join us by putting pressure on Hilton today. In Solidarity, - Nancy Treviño, Stop the Money Pipeline.
