So, yeah, about that.
I put in my two weeks notice.
I work at Montana Department of Labor.
There were going to be ICE subpoenas for information that would end up being used to hunt down & deport undocumented workers.
It would have been my responsibility to prepare the information and hand them off to ICE.
I refuse to aid in the breaking up of families. I refuse to just “follow orders.”
This isn’t an easy decision as it puts me in a delicate financial position.
I’ve got a toddler, an underemployed wife in grad school & two cats.
There’s about $900 in my checking account.
People have asked why am I doing this if I have a child.
I’m doing this because I have a child.
I want to be able to look my child in eye.
So many people are waiting on the 2018 elections, but many people being targeted by this administration don’t have that long.
I’m drawing my line in the sand here. Cooperation with this regime is not acceptable.
There are people who “support my decision” but seem disinclined to do much else. It’s frustrating.
I’ve been asking, “when do we riot,” but increasingly it seems to be that the answer is never.
(he put a paypal addy up as some were saying they would help him out, but I'm not posting that).
