“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” — Elie Wiesel, Nobel lecture

Update! 

• Avelo: The Deportation Airline, ceases service to Eugene Oct. 20 — six weeks early! Elsewhere, Avelo continues to fly deportation flights for ICE, so the work is not finished until all airports say farewell to commercial airlines that are complicit in deporting people without due process in clear violation of the U.S. Constitution. More info at bit.ly/AveloOutOfEUG and AveloOutofEUG@gmail.com.
