A printable, shareable reminder for Alaskans.
Don't talk to cops.
Period. Full-stop. End of sentence.
Tell your friends. Tell your neighbor. Tell your mom. Tell your coworker. Tell your auntie. Tell your kids.
Yes, all of them from patrol cops to ICE agents. Even if they're family.

So, around 75 people showed up to protest in Fairbanks, which isn’t bad for it being well below freezing. Lots of supportive honking!
If you’re in the area, another protest is planned for 4–6pm at Rep. Begich’s Fairbanks office: 542 4th Avenue, Suite 204
