Tonight we’re headed back to the Farmville Town Council to demand they #ShutDownICAFarmville. Join us in person or tune in here for live updates!

The councilmembers pass a unanimous motion, and the Mayor summarizes: "This body has set a motion and voted unanimously to have the town manager investigate any mechanisms by which we could withdraw if we chose to and what that would mean for us at a federal level."

Which means... the contract will not be renewed on the 15th, and the town is currently investigating whether they can leave the IGSA altogether! This is one step closer to our goal to #ShutDownICAFarmville and #FreeThemAll !

This outcome is only possible due to the 80+students, community members, and advocates who came out today. #ElPuebloUnido

📢 This upcoming Monday, 9/18, members of City Council will introduce legislation to put Cop City on the ballot. In order to ensure there are enough votes to pass the ordinance, we need your help, right now. 🧵
