Our mission

Abolition has to be a public demand, not a private debate.

Neighbors Not Numbers is a coalition of organizers, neighbors, and volunteers building public pressure for an immigration system rooted in dignity. We move candidates through the Abolish ICE Pledge and Congress through AAACT legislation.

Two campaigns. One commitment to dignity.

The Abolish ICE Pledge asks candidates to make a public commitment to abolition. AAACT is a separate legislative plan for what comes next. Neighbors Not Numbers fully supports both, but AAACT endorsement is not required to sign the pledge or appear on the tracker.

Why we organize

ICE has built a system around detention, family separation, and racial profiling. Two decades of reform promises have not fixed it. We believe abolition is the only honest response, and that politicians won't lead until voters demand it in public.

Principles

Dignity

Immigrants are our neighbors, coworkers, and family. Not case numbers. Not enforcement targets.

Accountability

Every candidate should have to answer, in public, whether they'll vote to end ICE.

Abolition

Reform won't fix an agency built around punishment. We're asking for abolition, and a serious plan for what replaces it.

Community safety

Safety comes from due process, legal representation, and community investment, not from cages.

FAQ

Who's behind this?

Neighbors Not Numbers is a grassroots coalition. Organizers, volunteers, and neighbors, not a political party.

Where do the statistics come from?

Public polling by Marist/PBS/NPR and YouGov, and human-rights reporting from Amnesty International, the American Immigration Council, and ProPublica.

How will I know if a candidate signs?

The tracker updates, the signer appears on the signatories page, and we announce every new commitment on Instagram.

Does signing the pledge require a campaign to endorse AAACT?

No. NNN fully supports AAACT, but campaigns are listed on the tracker because they signed the Abolish ICE Pledge. Supporting AAACT is welcome and separate.

Can I help if I'm not in a district with a candidate listed?

Yes. Share the tracker, donate, and tell your own reps to commit.
