If I can give 3 pieces of unsolicited advice to people facing ICE/CBP:
1) go outside
2) meet your neighbors
3) be loud
They want you to be isolated and afraid so they can work in secret, control the narrative, and act with impunity. They lose power when we see what’s happening and to whom.

"I see you, Chicago. ... I see you running toward danger, together, and loving each other more fiercely than you ever knew you could." 😭 ❤️
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

You can, in fact, just do stuff. No permission needed. Have an idea? Execute it.

The thing to understand about Chicago is that the people who live here love this fucking city, and we will defend it. Always.

This is Chicago. We filled Daley Plaza. We filled the streets. We rallied and marched in the name of democracy, human rights, civil rights, people's livelihoods, people's lives, our planet, peace and justice in our country and around the world. #HandsOff @indivisible.org
