NO TYRANTS: ICE OUT OF VANCOUVER
Saturday, March 28
11:00 AM – 1:15 PM
Vancouver Public Library, 350 W Georgia St
Hosted by Democracy Rising and Indivisible Vancouver
No American Fascism on Canadian Soil
Donald Trump is a fascist. He is dismantling democracy, shredding civil liberties, and building an authoritarian state, and he is doing it fast. His administration is a direct threat not just to Americans, but to every open society in North America, including ours.
Our city is complicit in two ways, and we are naming both.
Our city is hosting them:
- The U.S. Consulate at 1075 West Georgia houses an active ICE field office operating in our city
- Mayor Ken Sim has not explicitly barred ICE from operating in Vancouver during the 2026 FIFA World Cup
Our city is profiting from them:
- Hootsuite provides ICE with social media surveillance tools used to monitor and target immigrants and activists
- GardaWorld operates private ICE detention facilities, profiting from the caging of migrants
- Avison Young is brokering the sale of warehouses to be converted into ICE mass detention centres holding up to 1,600 people each
These companies have Vancouver addresses, Vancouver employees, and Vancouver reputations. They have a choice. We are here to make sure they know it.
Our demands:
- Hootsuite: Cancel your ICE contract immediately
- GardaWorld: End all ICE detention contracts
- Avison Young: Walk away from the ICE warehouse deal now
- Mayor Ken Sim: Explicitly bar ICE from operating in Vancouver during the 2026 World Cup, and declare Vancouver a sanctuary city
- Ottawa: Formally object to ICE operating out of the U.S. Consulate and bar ICE from conducting enforcement operations on Canadian soil
Join us March 28th. Fascism doesn’t stop at borders. Neither does resistance.
