Dear people,
I understand that you are considering hiring Deloitte for various community connection projects. I hope you are fully aware that Deloitte collaborates with DHS and ICE; I think you can be confident that any "community" work they do will be actively terrifying and offensive to immigrants (undocumented, green card holders, and citizens). It is certainly actively offensive to me.

Ava Community Energy should have NOTHING to do with ICE collaborators. Please, please do the right thing.

"Democracy is, in the beginning and in the end, a belief that we can live together despite difference and choose the future together. It is a beautifully reckless idea, because it is hard enough for a family to decide what to have for dinner. But it works; in fact, it works better than all the other systems. ... What is at stake now is whether we can defend the idea, and the lived belief, that you change things by changing people. We must tell this to people. More importantly, we must show it."
