Hands Off
Connecticut
A collective of organizations, churches, unions, and activists committed to protecting our immigrant neighbors from ICE enforcement — building independent community defense networks in every city and town.
STANDING TOGETHER
FOR EVERY NEIGHBOR
We know the most immediate and effective way to push back against attacks on our community is through mass mobilizing and grassroots community organizing — building power from the ground up.
Mass Mobilizing
We bring thousands of people into action — rallies, marches, vigils, and rapid response — because strength in numbers is our most powerful tool.
Grassroots Organizing
Real change is built block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood. We organize from the bottom up, centering immigrant voices and leadership.
Community Defense
Building independent, democratic community defense networks in every CT city and town, so every neighbor has protection when it matters most.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO BUILDING INDEPENDENT AND DEMOCRATIC COMMUNITY DEFENSE NETWORKS IN EVERY CITY, TOWN, AND NEIGHBORHOOD IN OUR STATE.
