Get candidates to commit
Abolish ICE Pledge
We press candidates and elected officials to publicly commit to abolishing ICE.
Read the pledgeOur mission
A coalition built by neighbors.
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.
The people behind the work
Organizers. Volunteers. Neighbors.
Neighbors Not Numbers is a grassroots coalition, not a political party. Our work brings together organizers, volunteers and neighbors around the candidate pledge and support for AAACT.
Our work
Two campaigns. One goal: Abolish ICE.
Get leaders on the record. Push legislation forward.
Change the law
AAACT
We advocate for legislation to abolish ICE and replace it with a civil immigration system.
Explore AAACTNNN supports both campaigns. Signing the pledge does not require endorsing AAACT.
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.
What we're doing
- Contacting every House and Senate campaign in the 2026 cycle with the pledge.
- Publishing verified pledge signers and their election status in a searchable tracker.
- Building public support for AAACT as a separate legislative path toward due process, accountability, and community repair.
- Grounding our case in testimony from people who have been inside ICE detention.
- Giving supporters the scripts, stories, and tools to move their representatives.
Common questions
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.
