I went to my first ICE watch yesterday and was surprised by how kind and community-centered it felt.
PIRC (@pirc_oregon) runs free ICE watch training in Portland. Once trained, you’ll get text alerts so you can show up when ICE is sighted.

Ok folks. You can now see that change is possible. If you want to grow momentum, sign up to volunteer with your local Dem Party. Candidates need an army to help them get elected.
If you want them to win, you HAVE to help them. Canvass, phone bank, write postcards, GOTV, and register voters!
