ICE is starting to conduct raids in my town, does anyone have ideas or resources about community defense? (hexbear.net)

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

Your community will have unique circumstances to address in its own way, but rest assured that this struggle has been going on for a very, very long time, and there are broad strokes things you can learn together quickly.

I really hope you're able to get in touch with the trainings and organizers near you! You mentioned having gone to a couple of events already so bug those people I guess? Or anyone else you might know from that circle?

I have folks that I'm in touch with, but I think everyone is so dispersed because there are like 50 different things going on so there aren't many people who are focusing their energy on working together to create a cohesive plan and I'm new to the scene so it kind of feels very disorganized.
