Attached: 1 image Filter Blockades: A Tactic to Defend Your Neighborhood from ICE https://crimethinc.com/filterblockades Filter blockades are a simple and effective way to resist the occupation of our communities. All you need is a few determined friends or neighbors and some widely available materials. The goal is to slow traffic, without fully blocking it, in order to identify potential ICE vehicles. The more filter blockades, the more effective the strategy becomes. We review how to establish and maintain filter blockades, share accounts from filter blockades in the Twin Cities this past week, and conclude with a broader look at the history and potential of the model.

Did I already post about this? Well if I did, here it is again, and I don't mind bc it is just that good. It's the moment to go listen/watch this conversation between Dean Spade and Peter Gelderloos. They talk about revolutionary tactics; engaging effectively with liberal projects like no kings; handling comrade conflict, and what does and doesn't contribute to an "ecosystem of revolt". breath of fresh air imo and brings a lotta clarity to tough questions. 13/12 recommend https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=8SYjI8MUID4
