Pop star Katy Perry has urged her fans to step into political action, calling on them to help block a proposed $10 billion increase in funding for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying it is time to “turn anger into action”.In a series of Instagram slides, Perry laid out a clear plan for her followers, explaining who to contact, what to say and when to act. The post asked fans to call their US senators before Friday, January 30, ahead of a Senate vote on a major spending bill that includes additional funding for ICE.
Her five-word call to action was presented step by step:
1) Who: You, the power is in your hands. 2) What: Call your senators. 3) When: Now. We have until Friday, January 30th to block $10 billion (on top of the $75b that’s already been funded) from going through to ICE. 4) Where: Call (202) 224-3121. 5) Why: Because it’s time to turn anger into action.”
