Introduction to
WA Whistles
WA Whistles
Inspired by whistle programs in LA and Chicago, WA Whistles builds on Teresa Magaña's work at Pilsen Arts and Community House.
How do we use the whistle?
Whistles are a simple tool to keep our community informed and protected. When you witness immigration enforcement activity, a whistle serves as an immediate alert letting others know in real-time that something is happening. This creates instant awareness, ensures incidents don't go unnoticed, and helps mobilize documentation and legal support. No phone, no app, no language barrier. Right now, our priority is strengthening our community network. Join our Signal chat to distribute whistles, request supplies, or learn more. It's where we coordinate efforts and keep everyone informed and connected.
Using Whistles Wisely
Information is our strongest defense. This space is dedicated to providing you with the tools and knowledge needed to protect our neighbors and stay informed. Whether you are reporting activity or using safety tools in the field, our goal is simple: We warn, we don’t intervene.
Explore our guides on the SALUTE method, learn the protocols for whistle safety, and find out how to accurately report ICE activity to keep our community safe.
One of the most impactful ways to help is by sharing trusted resources with staff and patrons. Make your business safer by clearly marking private and public areas so everyone knows where they're welcome. WA Neighborhood Defense created a toolkit to help Washington businesses understand their rights and protect employees and patrons during ICE encounters.
