Red Wine & Blue: How to stay safe while standing up to ICE

After weeks of protest, the Department of Homeland Security has announced a pullback of its ICE operation in Minneapolis.

We saw the violence that ICE brought to the city, and we saw how thousands of people stood against those agents – even in frigid temperatures and with their safety on the line.

Let’s be clear, though: ICE is not done terrorizing communities. The agency has quietly rented 150 new office spaces nationwide to begin new operations. They aren’t quitting, and neither can we.

Standing up against ICE is critical work, Rebecca, and Red Wine & Blue wants to help you prepare and feel safe if ICE comes to your town. Join our partners, the ACLU and Democracy Security Project, on Tuesday, February 17, at 7:30PM ET to learn how!

ICE is operating in many cities and suburbs of those cities across the country, including Washington, DC, Memphis, Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, New Orleans, Brownsville, TX, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Newark, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and Indianapolis.

You may have been wary to participate in ICE protests, wondering what the ramifications may be. Could you be arrested? Lose your job?

The ACLU and Democracy Security Project will help you understand your legal rights, including filming and engaging with ICE, along with physical and digital safety strategies to protect yourself and others.

You’ll also hear directly from moms and community leaders who are organizing on the ground and getting results, sharing practical lessons, proven tactics, and inspiration to help you take action locally.

And we’ll give you ways to take part that don’t involve taking to the streets – or even leaving your house!

Whether you stand up to ICE in the streets or from your computer, we want you to be safe. Join us on Tuesday to find out how.

See you there!
