I’m working 11am to like 10pm tomorrow and want to be realistic about how much I can accomplish in the morning if anyone can come by before then and grab some. Also if you live in a building with larger units in the area and can hang signs in your lobby DM me!

It’s also an option for businesses generally considered public spaces to designate private “staff only” areas, such as back offices or kitchens, which means 🧊 would need a judicial warrant signed by a judge to get back there, which they are unlikely to have.

a club/bar is a public space, clearing ICE to enter.
HOWEVER: once a ticket, cover or wristband is required for entry, it deems the area PRIVATE, preventing ICE raids indoors. this information is directly from ICIRR. in order to get in to your PRIVATE party, they must have a warrant. ⬇️

Again, I ask, what are we going to do when ICE shows up. Sharing infographics (if even that) only does so much, because it’s not beyond me that most of the shows on the strip have almost all-white audiences, and I don’t trust white gays to do the right thing (clearly). So what are we doing?

door suggestions person are only if you are working and have privilege, like play that up to get info while maintaining a strong presence that you will not back down - the top part of it got cut off

if you want to put that plan in place ahead of time here’s an easy step by step guide that high risk shows and venues can follow. currently looks like whistles and the color red are being used as universal signifiers of different levels of presence

DM me if you are in the area down to keep an eye out for our neighbors! There’s a weekly food distribution nearby coming up later among other a few higher risk places that people might need to visit!

(my version is simply called Network not Family, but same idea just shortened amount of info for effectiveness of sharing easily and also expanding the concept of family for us queers - but generally to promote caring for neighbors and larger community networks.)

I’ll have PDF copies (English) to give out, lmk if you’d like me to print you/your org, ect. multiple copies to give out. If this gets translated into Spanish I will also carry that version.

NOTE: I’m not an immigration expert, this is not all inclusive, and things are changing/escalating daily

LOW KEY - you do not need to credit me, like if people need to know who made it to trust the information you can say my friend, coworker, neighbor ect. made this but I do not have the capacity to answer every follow up question rn. ALSO if you are able to translate any section into SPANISH ily 4ever

for transparency I sat down yesterday and for ~ 6 hrs & took a 30 page family preparedness guide I was given for my day job (case manager) & whittled it down to about 9 pages & included information from other sources so everything is easier to understand/centralized, while also honoring queer family
