✈️ Ground Avelo: Making Millions off ICE Contract 🤬

Avelo Airlines is in the business of deporting people for profit. Two ways to protest:

1️⃣ Visit Ground Avelo. Whether you’re in a hub city where Avelo operates (Mesa, AZ is one) or completely outside of their network, we have actions you can take.

2️⃣ Our friends at Indivisible Mesa are joining the Coalition to Stop Avelo's nationwide call to action for a full boycott of Avelo Airlines. The goal? Drive ticket sales to ZERO and make Avelo feel the consequences of profiting from deportations.

Join them for one or both of these upcoming protests, both at the intersection of E Ray Road & Power Road in Mesa, AZ 85212:
