I want to try to compile resources about different community mobilization tactics for when ICE is conducting raids, specifically for all of the tenants/neighbors in the vicinity. I have heard of the whistle thing which I think is a smart piece of a puzzle but I want to try to help people build more cohesive acute support networks

Focus on existing local networks of trustworthy organizations. If those don't exist, you will need to build one, but if they do exist then you can just join one or work in coalition to massively increase your efficacy. Treat all actions like they are anti-cop actions but where the cops have even less discipline than usual. Don't get arrested for pointless reasons, only risk arrest when there is an organized goal to achieve.

Organization is the key to all actions. Collecting tactics is useful in the context of organized action but can be counterproductive (so not always) when outside of that context.
