Sheriff Miyamoto Sanctuary City Petition
We have received alarming reports that, as ICE was preparing for mass raids earlier this week, it was pressuring our local law enforcement officials to gut the Sanctuary protections that have kept thousands of families together.
We must remain vigilant. That’s why today, we’re asking you to join us in calling on San Francisco Sheriff Paul Miyamoto to resist ICE’s threats and keep our communities safe under current sanctuary laws. He must refuse to turn any of our neighbors over to ICE.

Palestinian Youth Movement
Oakland Arms Embargo
Since January 2025 at least 280 military cargo shipments have left the Oakland airport destined for Israel. At the airport where our community members pick up and send off loved ones, bomb release units and surveillance systems for the lethal F-35 jet are being loaded and transported to the airbase where the Israeli F-35 fleet is maintained and repaired to continuously drop bombs on the people of Gaza.

Sanctuary Legal Defense Fund
In San Francisco's immigrant communities, children and families face the danger of navigating the asylum process without legal representation. People with lawyers are much less likely to be deported—but the City’s pro bono legal services are at capacity, and private attorneys cost $10,000 or more. The federal government has dramatically increased fees charged for each step in the process. Thousands of San Francisco children go to school each day uncertain whether they or their parents will be detained or separated from their families.
Our community must act now to defend the rights and well-being of our immigrant families. Every family and child deserves due process and the protection of their legal rights.

One Billion Rising
Risings Toolkit
February - April
Independently organized artistic uprisings – or Risings – take place globally to stop violence against women and girls (cisgender and transgender), gender expansive people, and the planet. Use a variety of creative mediums—dance, song, theater, poetry, film, visual art, and more—to illuminate the intersectional stories of gender-based violence, survival, and resistance.
Held in community venues, on college campuses, or in public spaces, Risings provoke thought, stir the heart and imagination, and incite action. Participants can utilize artistic tools created by One Billion Rising, such as songs and choreography, OBR videos and documentaries, or share work by local artists.
