Those people you see in videos blowing whistles, honking, video recording everything ICE does? They’re not just full-time activists who are used to this kind of thing, who tail ICE all day. They’re random retirees from down the street who heard the whistles and came outside even though the sidewalk’s a bit dicey. They’re mid-career professionals who were on their way home from a long day at work and heard the honking. They’re parents who are afraid their kid is going to be late for their violin lesson but they just have to be out there because this is too important.
If you’re wondering how you can help…
If you’re in MSP: talk to your neighbors, find the people who are doing organizing work, and get involved. Find something and show up for it. Info & resources here: https://monarcamn.org
If you’re elsewhere in the US: talk to your neighbors •now• about what’s happening, and get your support networks set up •before• this comes to where you live — unless of course it already has, in which case see above.
If you’re not in the US, spread the word about what’s happening here. Make the shame of ICE known internationally.
