“On Saturday, community groups passed out another 10,000 whistles as part of a day of action put on by Hands Off NYC, a coalition that includes dozens of unions, community groups, churches and political groups, hosting a day of action and events across the city.”

As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Today, thousands of people came out to events all across NYC—picking up and handing out materials to defend their neighborhoods from ICE. There were whistles kits & know your rights cards. People went to hundreds of businesses hanging signs of solidarity. Incredible feat by @handsoffnyc.bsky.social.

We’re building a movement in NYC that’s strong enough to push back against Trump’s fascist takeover and attacks on U.S. cities.

Across each borough and on every block, we’re organizing to protect NYC and our communities—but it’s going to take all of us.

On April 5th, over 120,000 New Yorkers came together to say HANDS OFF our jobs, unions, schools, social security, medicare, and more.

But we know that protest isn't enough -- we have to take that energy and turn it into action. So that's what we're going to do. Join us: handsoffNYC.com
