First and foremost thanks for visiting our page. The ICE Breakers are a small group of LA residents who are sick of over militarized immigration authorities violently disrupting our neighborhoods. We’ve decided to fight back by boycotting British Petroleum(BP) and it’s subsidiary AMPM. Here’s a quick rundown of our first action and why:
Did you know?
The U.S. Government has a combat support agency called the Defense Logistics Agency. Through that agency they recently awarded contracts to 10 companies. These contracts directly support ICE in their operations and logistics, mostly providing fuel and fuel supplies, so this is where we decided to focus our attention first. Here are the numbers:
* BP North America Products won $556,067,223
* Chevron U.S.A. won $148,548,358
* Valero Marketing and Supply won $415,622,640
* Marathon Petroleum won $413,678,045
* Par Hawaii Refining won $171,644,631
* Petro Star won $206,682,546
* Phillips 66 won $48,014,591
* Sinclair Oil won $72,910,155
* US Oil and Refining won $73,569,416
* Wyoming Refining won $11,012,900
Ideally you and I should probably boycott all of these corporations for a bunch of different reasons. But considering the urgency of the moment, and the fast moving nature of news/social media, we’ve decided to make it as easy as possible for everyone to get involved quickly. As shown above, BP has the largest contract with DHS worth over $550,000,000.
British Petroleum(BP) owns nearly a thousand AMPM’s in California. There are hundreds of Arco AMPM’s around Southern California and in all of the neighborhoods we live in. So, this is our target.
And listen I get it ARCO is always my go to for cheap gas. But, hopefully we can all agree that some things are more important than saving a few cents at the pump. A sustained boycott is enough to force these companies to cut ties with the agency tearing our communities apart and there is no better time to take action than right now.
Want to help?
You have options. Make a short Instagram or TikTok video talking about the BP/AMPM boycott and your own participation in it. Make sure to tag #boycottICE and #ICEbreakers. Social media spreads these messages like wildfire once a trend catches on so doing your part can make a huge impact. If you’re not comfortable on camera, then word of mouth and resharing the videos of others would be awesome. Not big on social media? We’ll be updating you with events from around LA where you can show up and help us spread the word.
