#PVDlocal / #RIlocal, here are some ways to defend our neighbors against ICE kidnappings & brutality:
- Put this number in your phone: 401-675-1414. It's the ICE defense hotline. You can call if you see ICE or DHS agents; you can also call to ask how to become an operator or a verifier. (1/2)

First we've got phone calls to #RIlocal channel ABC 6, to prevent Sinclair Broadcasting from turning it into an underfunded, union-busting bullshit-purveyor. Roles for viewers, advertisers & politicians, all doable without leaving your chair/bed. (2/5) docs.google.com/document/u/0...

#RIlocal: If you're able to join this meeting, it's at 269 Melrose St, PVD, near the 20 bus line, 8/7 9:30am.
If you can't join, call the RIPTA board office at 401-784-9500, ext 1171 & leave a message urging the board to delay the vote (so that the General Assembly has time for a special session).

#PVDlocal / #RIlocal: If you're free on weekday mornings, can you help patrol outside the courthouse to prevent ICE kidnappings? M-F, 8am-12pm, 6th District Court (1 Dorrance Plaza, Providence). The more people the less likely ICE is to try to seize someone. Film cops & ICE, not fellow patrollers!

Still plenty of time to make those phone calls! For #RIlocal followers, Jack Reed is listed as a potential key vote here. Call him up! His record on arming Israel, as someone else pointed out earlier, sucks--this is his chance to change it.

#PVDlocal / #RIlocal: To protect our neighbors from ICE kidnappings, let's petition the Mayor, Governor & City Council to offer virtual hearings, trials & conferences to protect people from ICE. They have the capacity & the technology--they did this during deep COVID! www.change.org/p/stop-ice-k...

Not Chicago (though you could see if they have something similar) but #PVDlocal / #RIlocal meetings for utility justice are every Wednesday (incl TONIGHT 7/23), 6:30pm at the George Wiley Center, 32 East Ave, Pawtucket. A great & committed bunch of people who could use more minds & hands!

Bit of a long shot but: anyone here work for or with a #RIlocal business or nonprofit with an ad budget? The AMOR Community Cookbook is going into a second edition & your ad could help us raise funds for detainee support & legal costs docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
