Rally Against ICE at Stanford: CARE, NOT COMPLICITY
Tuesday, 9/2, 5:30pm 
Welch & Pasteur, Palo Alto

Flyer and more information below.

Join Stanford healthcare workers in demanding that Stanford Health Care put patients first instead of letting ICE agents interfere with care! As healthcare workers, our own duty to care has been overridden by a hospital administration that has allowed ICE agents to roam freely without supervision in our hospital, to remove communication equipment from a patient’s room, to station themselves in the middle of a patient care unit, to block communication between a patient and immediate family members, to block access from a patient’s lawyer, to kick family members out of a patient’s room and prevent any visits, and to take an ill patient from care into detention with no plan for continued care and no notification to the family. None of these things are necessary – other hospitals do not bend to ICE’s every whim, and we demand that Stanford follow their example and stand up for patient and worker safety.

With the Trump administration trying to penetrate every corner of this country with racist authoritarianism, we need to recognize that the only option we have is to stand up and resist. Our institutions will continue deepening their complicity with genocide, with erasing trans lives, with mass deportation, until we stop them. While we often feel afraid to speak up, we should be more afraid of the world that is coming if we remain silent. But together we can find the power to create justice, from our workplaces to the other side of the world.
