Longtime community leader and volunteer, Ricardo Fierro, was taken into custody by Immigration Custom Enforcement (ICE) on Tuesday, July 24, 2018 at his home in Racine, Wisconsin.
Fierro is best known in the Racine, WI community as the former local director of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. In recent years, Fierro served on the City of Racine Mayoral Advisory Board, Immigration Task Force Chairman for the Racine Interfaith Coalition, the Racine Unified School District Middle School Transformation Committee and the RUSD Diversity and Equity Task Force.
Fierro was elected president of local council 347 of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), and enthusiastically participated in a host of volunteer activities too numerous to mention.
Ricardo and his family need your help now more than ever.
As the main source of income for his family of seven children, his mother and physically disabled brother, Ricardo’s detention has presented an unimaginable hardship to his family and loved ones.
Ricardo and his family are in desperate need of donations for his legal defense, as well as food, shelter and transportation for his family during this stressful time.
The fight to return Ricardo to his family and the Racine community requires your help today.

UNITE HERE is an organization of working people, coming together to win dignity and higher standards in the hospitality industry and beyond. We are proud of the work we do and want to make it better. Learn more.
UNITE HERE represents workers throughout the U.S. and Canada who work in the hotel, gaming, food service, airport, textile, manufacturing, distribution, laundry, and transportation industries.
Too often contracted airport workers –cabin cleaners, ramp workers, baggage handlers, wheelchair attendants, terminal cleaners, security officers, skycaps and passenger service workers– are paid so little that they can’t make ends meet even as the industry rakes in billions in profits. Airport workers across the country are tired of making big profits for the aviation industry, while they struggle to get by. Thats’s why airport workers and community allies are standing up and demanding $15 and union. Today, more than 118,000 airport workers nationwide have either received wage increases or other improvements, including healthcare, paid sick leave and worker retention policies.
Hundreds of thousands of people marched Saturday afternoon demonstrating against racism and calling for solidarity against the rise of the far-right across Germany and Europe.
On a hot and sunny fall day a 3-mile stretch of Berlin city’s center, from Alexanderplatz through the Brandenburg Gate to the Victory Column, was closed to accommodate the huge parade, which was united under the hashtag #unteilbar (“indivisible”).
Share these hours and locations with family, friends, and neighbors.

Alliance Building and Independent Self-Organization
Finally we are committed to building alliances around these important issues. We are willing to work with all honest forces in the struggle for genuine democracy, self-determination and full equality.
Moreover, the Moratorium NOW! Coalition believes in self-reliance and independent organizational initiatives. We know that the ruling class and their agents are not going to finance our liberation struggle. Hence we have been far more successful in reaching our objectives than those who cannot conduct political work outside the framework of the parameters laid down by the ruling class and its surrogates in government.
Ultimately we want to transform society as a whole to reflect the interests of the majority of working and oppressive people. There must be guarantees related to housing, water rights, environmental justice, education and the right to organize.
Only under these conditions can there be the realization of a just existence for African Americans, people of color and the working class as a whole.
