#peaceful protesting

Image ID: The words "YES, IT'S OKAY TO PUNCH NAZIS", a reference to the song "it's okay to punch nazis" by Cheap Perfume, in black on a white background with "ICE" crossed out with red. End ID

(so sorry if i did a bad job on the image ID!! It's my first time trying to ID the image lol)

Note. While I love the idea of punching an ICE agent, and possibly also drop kicking one off a cliff, it will get you killed. Protest in peaceful ways instead.

If you're wondering what to do & how to stay safe, I'd recommend doing more research but here's some simple things:

In the event that ICE comes to your door, do not open the door for them. Ask for a warrantee and do not open the door to let them give it to you. They will take that as you letting them in. Instead, have them slide it under the door.

Make sure to know your rights!! (I don't have them memorized and don't want to spread misinformation)

In the event of ICE coming into your workplace, get any vulnerable workers (including yourself, if you're vulnerable!!) into a back room, specifically an employees only room.

If you see something strange that you think might be ICE, find your local emergency ICE hotline (not one run by ICE. one against them /info) (also. note. i'm not sure if everywher in the usa will have an emergency ICE hotline but my town does and i really hope other places do as well!! find yours and put it in your phone) and have them check out the situation. If you can, and they've been verified as ICE agents, and you're not vulnerable, get as many people as you can to record the situation and ask them questions such as "what's your badge number?".

It is my duty to use my privilege where it is needed, and to teach my son to use his privilege to help others. Proud of the people in my city that organized such an awesome march. Ofcourse there was people on the sides screaming at us, and telling us to go home, but we kept our attention on the purpose of our march. Plus a big thank you to the people who gave us water and snacks who were sitting on their front lawns.

White silence is betrayal. I hear you, I see you, and I’ll always stand with you ✊🏻❤️

Also, here’s a bonus sign;

I’ve had a wild ride today between doctor’s visits with a friend, the ER with the same friend who now wants to go to a local protest. And yes, she knows I’m talking about her. lol 

I’m going to be catching up but it will be sporadic so I’m asking for your patience in advance. Everything is okay. It’s just been the strangest day. 😱😊😳😎😉😍😈
