Ok a few things because trust me I am aware about how awful everything feels
One.
If you know someone who is not legally here no you don’t. Do not mention them online even if it’s expressing concern. Again.
DO NOT SAY ANYTHING ONLINE ABT FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO MAY NOT BE HERE LEGALLY.
Two.
Know your rights if ICE comes to talk you. You have every right to not talk to them.
This is for my state so your rights may be different state to state so please do your research. If you know someone here non legally make sure to pass this information to them.
Three.
If you are an employer or employee here are your rights if ice comes to your school or workplace.
This man is a lawyer
Four.
Do not talk about someone or yourself getting an abortion if you are in states currently in danger of reproductive rights. Both irl and online.
Five.
Trust only close friends and family WHO HAVE EXPLICITLY GIVEN THEIR VIEWS with your reproductive health if you are in states currently under threat of reproductive rights being taken.
Six.
If you are in states with no protections for transgender people or youth. Do not mention being trans or knowing trans people.
Seven.
If you are going to a protest here are few things to note and bring.
Cover your face, tattoos, scars, and hair if it’s dyed abnormal colors.
Do not engage with police. They are not there to protect you they are they for arrests.
If someone is trying to rile up the crowd into looting or burning ignore them.
Bring a first aid kit.
Bring bottles of milk to help with pepper spray. (Correction do NOT USE MILK! Use water or saline solution and take out contacts!!!)
If you are white or cis advocate for your poc and visibly queer people. They will be targeted first during arrests.
Lastly say nothing if you are arrested. Request a lawyer immediately.
Always film if someone is being arrested you have a right to film. This goes for if someone is also being detained by ice.
Anyway please stay safe. We will make it.
