Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Hey Portland, there’s a lot of fear in our immigrant communities right now and one way you can help is attending a MigraWatch/ICE Watch Training. You’ll learn how to safely identify and verify potential ICE activity, and how to contribute to PIRC’s rapid response network.

Flyer with text. Text: Training: Migra Watch, ICE Watch. Wednesday, August 13 & 27 6-7:30 pm, RSVP to receive location. Learn how to safely identify and respond to potential ICE activity in your community. How to spot and verify ICE presence. How to plug into PIRC's rapid response network. Know-your rights. After training you can join the PIRC hotline ecosystem and receive real-time alerts to help confirm ICE sightings in your community. No experience need. Just show up, learn, and tap in! RSVP: bit.ly/oregonicewatch

The best part of this is that it was entirely paid for, designed, hand painted, rigged, and pulled by the fans. The TA is something special, and they proved it again tonight.
