In recent weeks, ICE killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine, and the National Guard killed four Black men in Memphis, including Tyrin Johnson, Jonah Neal, and Darrin Pigram.

As law enforcement agents target our communities, our responsibility is clear: WE ORGANIZE. Come together and protect our people. ATL Get Ready is a coalition of community groups organizing together to stop ICE and police from entering our Sanctuary Zones. Since May 1st, we have recruited almost 50 sites to sign on as Sanctuary Zones in Atlanta, and we're working toward 100! 🔥 JOIN US! ✊🏽 Become a Sanctuary Zone in Atlanta! Ready to sign on? Go to: bit.ly/sanctuaryzone-atl * What is a Sanctuary Zone? A Sanctuary Zone is a place that commits to protecting the people who live, work, and gather there. In practice, that means your site: ✅ Does not allow ICE entry without a judicial warrant. ✅ Does not rely on policing as the first response to community concerns. ✅ Prioritizes alternatives such as de-escalation, mutual aid, and community-based resources whenever possible. Sanctuary Zones put safety over surveillance and solidarity over fear. * Who do we call instead of law enforcement authorities? Many situations do not require a police response, and businesses are not required to admit ICE without a judicial warrant. For many non-emergency situations, Atlanta residents can call 311 to access PAD (Policing Alternatives & Diversion). PAD is a community organization that assists people who may need help with basic resources, housing, mental health or substance use but are at risk of arrest or jail. Learn more at www.atlantapad.org. What are we building? We envision a connected network of Sanctuary Zones: businesses, organizations, and community spaces that can respond proactively during times of crisis instead of reacting after harm has occurred. Together, we can create a city where everyone can live, work, and gather with dignity and without fear of unnecessary criminalization. If you're ready to become a Sanctuary Zone or want to help recruit others, we'd love to have you involved. Sign up today: bit.ly/sanctuaryzone-atl
