Around 30,000 people have signed a petition to boycott Avelo, a small airline, after it made a controversial deal with ICE to carry out deportation flights. The petition was started in response to the airline’s decision to collaborate with ICE, which has faced widespread criticism for its treatment of undocumented immigrants. Many individuals and organizations have expressed their outrage over Avelo’s involvement in deportations, with some arguing that the airline is complicit in human rights abuses.
The petition calls for a boycott of Avelo in protest of the airline’s participation in deportation flights. Supporters of the boycott argue that by refusing to fly with Avelo, they can send a message to the airline and other companies that collaborating with ICE is unacceptable. They believe that putting pressure on Avelo to end its partnership with ICE is a necessary step in holding the airline accountable for its actions.
Avelo has defended its decision to work with ICE, stating that it is committed to complying with all regulations and laws governing the transportation of passengers. The airline has emphasized that its partnership with ICE is in line with its goal of providing safe and reliable air travel services. However, critics of the airline remain adamant in their opposition to Avelo’s involvement in deportation flights and are determined to continue their efforts to hold the airline accountable.
The boycott against Avelo highlights the power of grassroots activism in holding companies accountable for their actions. By organizing and mobilizing supporters, the petitioners have demonstrated the potential impact of consumer-led campaigns in promoting social change and advocating for justice.
