A black‑and‑white flyer with a large whistle emitting lines above raised arms. Headline: “WHISTLES! Instant Alert System — simple, effective, faster than social media. Together we keep our community safe.” Left column, “How It Works”: 1. Wear a whistle. 2. If you see ICE, blow it. • For ICE driving or lurking: short blasts (“PRE—PRE—PRE”). • For an abduction: continuous blasts (“PREEEEEE”). 3. When you hear a whistle: get to safety or follow the sound, form a crowd, stay loud. 4. Text 844‑724‑3737 (WAISN hotline) with location and details. Right column, “How to Help”: Share whistles, teach whistle codes, 3D‑print whistles, host assembly parties, give out free whistles, spread the word on social media, join WA Whistle Warriors.
