BOYCOTT AVELO AIRLINES: AVELO OUT OF EUG!
🗓️ Saturday, May 31st
⏰ 11:00am
📍 Old Federal Building, 211 E 7th Ave, Eugene, OR

PSL Eugene, Indivisible Eugene-Springfield, Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) Eugene-Springfield, and the Refugee Sanctuary Group at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Eugene (UUCE) will host a rally and protest on Saturday, May 31st, from 11am – 1pm at the Old Federal Building at 7th Ave and Pearl St in Eugene to demand: Avelo Out of EUG!

Avelo Airlines runs regular flights between Eugene and Burbank. Over a month ago, we posted a statement on Avelo Airlines’ decision to contract with ICE to run deportation flights. The people of Eugene have been calling, emailing, and demanding action from city and airport leaders, who have pled helplessness. We have called for a boycott of Avelo Airlines as profiting from a system that destroys the lives of our immigrant neighbors is truly disgusting. Avelo is far from the only company to do so, but they are one here in our backyard, and so we have to make it hurt in the only place they’ll notice—their bottom line.

NO PROFIT FROM MASS DEPORTATION!

Thousands of people in dozens of cities around the country where Avelo operates have joined the campaign (learn more at stopavelo.org) and will be mobilizing on May 31st for a national day of action against Avelo. At the rally we will issue calls to action for a summer campaign to get Avelo Out of EUG!

Avelo out of Eugene NOW!
