It’s Time to AAACT

ICE has functioned as a punitive, militarized arm of immigration enforcement—detaining people without meaningful due process, separating families, enabling inhumane detention conditions, and operating with a level of impunity that has allowed abuse, racial profiling, and even violence to persist unchecked. 

50501 believes this is the moment to AAACT because the system is not just broken, it is fundamentally unjust, and with growing public outrage and support for dismantling ICE, there is a real opportunity to replace it with a humane, rights-based framework rooted in dignity, accountability, and community care. 

Justice & Power Collective is raising funds to help the 50501 Advocacy Guild take this fight directly to Congress because transformative change doesn’t happen quietly, it requires organized pressure, resources, and a collective demand that lawmakers stop protecting harmful systems and instead advance bold legislation like the AAACT Mandate and PATH Act that reimagine immigration through justice and liberation.

In less than a week, we will be traveling to Washington, D.C. to meet directly with legislators from across the country to present two comprehensive pieces of legislation: the AAACT Mandate and the PATH Act.

But getting there requires support.

We are raising $2,500 to cover travel, lodging, and materials so we can bring this legislation directly to decision-makers and advocate for real, systemic change.

This is about more than a trip, it’s about making sure our communities have a seat at the table where national policy is shaped.

If you believe in immigration justice, accountability, and community repair, we invite you to support this effort and be part of the movement.
