No ICE

Community organizing page

Inspired by the community event at The Fruit hosted by The Burrow on Tues night. My estimate is >500 people showed up to strategize for protecting our community and neighbors.

If you have organizing info for me to add - email me at durhamresist@gmail.com or chat me on signal checksunshine.12

Track & Warn

  • Call or text the Siembra hotline if you see possible ICE activity - (336)-543-0353.

    • Add this number to your phone contacts.

    • Give them info in the SALUTE format - Size of group, Activity of group, Location (exact), Uniforms/Units, Time, Equipment (weapons, dogs, SUVs, etc)

    • You can send them photos/videos

    • Bilingual? Volunteer to take a shift manning the hotline. Contact hola@siembranc.org

  • Track ICE movements with Ojo Obrero, verified ICE sightings

  • If you see possible ICE activity, take photos and/or record

  • If you feel safe to do so, engage your power as a bystander to interfere with ICE activities through distracting, delaying, documenting.

Neighborhood patrols

Siembra NC - sign up to be assigned coordinated patrols to vulnerable neighborhoods. Note: Siembra is doing great things but are probably overwhelmed with the organizing logistics. So consider joining a self-organized patrol.

Self-organized community patrols

  • Check out this google spreadsheet to identify intersections/neighborhoods where people will be gathering to form watches/patrols

  • South Durham, meet up with a group at Lowe’s at 4402 Fayetteville Rd near MLK at Wed 11/19, 8:30am

  • Go to neighborhoods most likely to be targeted.

Yellow = majority hispanic

Check out this zoomable map to identify neighborhoods that are majority Hispanic.

Support your neighbors

Reach out to people you know and ask if they want someone to drive them, someone to run errands for them, to pick up their groceries.

Some community groups:

El Centro Hispano - donate or volunteer - website

SEEDS - providing support to vendors who can’t work - website

NC Immigrant Solidarity Fund - website

Emmanuel Food Pantry - need volunteers - website

Compare Foods - delivering groceris - news article

Go after ICE

There are groups working on disrupting ICE operations by creating annoyances and hiccups in their logistics.

  • Working on getting a contact for this!

ICE office in Cary, at 140 Centrewest Ct.

  • Monitor activity. Protest. Be safe/legal.

  • This location has been scrubbed from google maps! See photo for a screenshot I took a few months ago.

Need legal representation if you’re arrested during a protest or ICE interaction? Contact the National Lawyers Guild at northcarolina@mlg.org.

Keep organizing!
