This moment demands outrage, yes, but also immediate action. Here are things we should be doing right now in cities targeted by the Proud Boys, oops, I mean ICE. We are stronger together and we are not alone.
1. Support Food Relief
Donate to culturally specific food programs
Fund pantry boxes and ready to eat meals
Volunteer with trusted community kitchens
Food keeps people rooted. Food is stability. Weaponizing hunger is always an authoritarian tactic, and it can be defeated by feeding people.
2. Support Immigrant Owned Businesses
Spend intentionally, especially this holiday season
Create and share lists of businesses to support
Buy gift cards, prepay catering, make bulk orders
Keep money circulating where fear is trying to choke it off
Economic survival is resistance. Use your dollars for good.
3. Build and Fund Safe Mobility
Support and gift ride share credits
Help organize community safe driver networks
Assist workers who no longer feel safe on public transit
Reach out to restaurants already implementing these policies
Work together. Drive together. Walk together.
Freedom of movement should never be dictated by the color of your skin or your country of origin. If we are a free country, then act like it.
4. Support Legal Defense and Rapid Response
Donate to immigrant legal defense funds
Support and share rapid response organizations
Share know your rights materials
Law matters, but only if people have access it and know there is support.
5. Pressure Local and State Leaders
Demand limits on ICE cooperation
Demand protections for schools, public transit, and food access
Demand funding for community relief and legal defense
Support political campaigns standing against the racists in power
Call
Share
Help
Silence is not an option
Vote out the racists
and F*ck Trump
