Timeframe For change

This project seems to be part of a campaign with a clear short-term goal. Short-term goals tend to be things like: create or repeal a law; get a President impeached; make the city administration repair a sidewalk. A campaign with a short-term goal needs a clear theory of change, complete with targets that can be cajoled or pressured into effecting the goal.

"ABOLISH ICE" raises awareness to what ICE is doing to our communities in the USA. ICE is doing illegal and cruel treatment of immigrants and citizens and must be stopped.

This project seems to be part of a campaign with a clear long-term goal. Long-term goals tend to be things like: end racism; end homophobia; make the sun stand still in the sky. A campaign with a long-term goal also needs to have some kind of theory of change.

"ABOLISH ICE" is to stop the cruelty to immigrants.
