If you’ve already voted via mail-in or absentee ballot and your candidate dropped out, check your state’s laws on whether or not you can change it. Some will let you declare the vote invalid if it’s in the mail but hasn’t been counted yet. If you’ve marked and sealed your ballot but not mailed it, you may be able to just open it again, change your vote, tape up the envelope and send it in (Washington State lets you do this).

Arrested for what! WTF! Are you kidding me? He’s not doing anything wrong! Sickening!

[airandangels]

Here’s an article about him - it’s from early July 2019.

Alan Dornan has walked the last 530 days for undocumented immigrants. Last week, he was arrested by Homeland Security officers during a prot

“I will stay active for as long as I’m able to stay active — and I’m at peace.”

He wasn’t arrested just for walking around with a sign, though, he and a friend planned a sit-in in which they blocked the doors of a federal building housing an ICE courtroom to protest the imprisonment, neglect and abuse of migrant children separated from their parents. Getting arrested was part of the point - they were held for about an hour and a half and issued citations for a fine. He said he would not pay the fine and was seeking a court date to get further public attention for the issue. He’s deliberately using his privilege as an older white man to protest for people who have less power and are at more risk.

Go Alan Dornan!

the hacker magazine 2600 has compiled a list of all the customs and border patrol stations in the US, with their addresses, phone and fax numbers, at http://concentrationcamps.us/

I don’t have any way of getting you guys to stop adding these inane suggestions but I want to emphasize that the point here is to find and assist radical organizations working on demonstrations and direct actions at the detention camps in your community, not to mail pizza and glitter and bible verses and certainly not pizza to them

[babybear]

so you’ve probably seen the post going around detailing the horrific human rights abuses in what are, undeniably, concentration camps in the US…. accompanied by the suggestion that the only thing you can do is call your senators.

it’s unfathomable to me that someone would see we have actual nazi death camps in our country, and think the solution is writing to the politicians who allowed it to happen.

i have yet to see a post on any social media that has meaningfully helpful suggestions for how to get involved, so:

this article offers a number of suggestions including getting involved with your local chapter of Sanctuary Not Deportation, which connects faith groups to offer sanctuary to immigrants fleeing ICE. it also has a comprehensive list of immigrant-lead organizations to get involved with or donate to, as well as a link to crowdfund for detainee’s phone bills, which allows them to contact their families, legal counsel, and inform the outside world of the realities they are facing in detention.

here is a link for finding detention centers near you. there are many rallies directly outside of these camps you can participate in, and physically going to them is crucial in liberation efforts.

posting bond for detained immigrants is still one of the best ways to get people out of the death camps, even though ICE is increasingly unwilling to participate. the linked article has a list of both federal and state-by-state bail funds/organizations.

host a refugee if you have the room. Room For Refugees is still trying to build a network in the US. keeping people out of ICE’s grip and preventing detention in the first place is the best thing we can do because these camps are becoming more and more impenetrable.

help the legal organizations helping immigrants near you; if you’re anywhere close to NYC the New Sanctuary Coalition needs volunteers/donations, and if you’re on the border get involved with Texas Civil Rights Project.

on top of free legal aid, the NSC specifically also organizes rapid responses to ICE raids, which is one of the most important things you can do – there are many local networks already in place, but here is how to organize a rapid response network if your city doesn’t have one.

one of the easiest things we can all do is learn the rights of immigrants in this country, and how to react to ICE raids. spread this information to everyone you know and keep the toolkit in easy access on your phone.

the only government policy that can make an immediate and tangible impact is municipal policy; push your local politicians to support or build sanctuary city initiatives – here is a toolkit for local political action.

finally, get involved with local antifa and leftist orgs! follow their social media to get updates on calls to action and protests happening near you. i cannot stress enough how important it is to be aware of efforts in your own city. antifa international’s tumblr is one page you can follow, but please research the orgs specifically in your area that are fighting the rise of fascism. the torch network has a list of chapters in several cities around the US, but again this is just a place to start.

i encourage everyone to find at least ONE thing from this list you can do, beyond donating. i know we are all stressed and have our time/energy zapped by capitalism, but if we do nothing, nothing will change. and please share these links wherever you can – copy and paste this post or at least share the first article i linked.

fascism is here, NOW, and we need to step up, because no one is going to invade us to free the camps this time.

We need to protest outside the centers and be ready to storm them. We need to overwhelm them. The time for armed resistance in here.
