Build Community
Join in the conversation, connect with others. Together we are building a stronger, more connected community where everyone has the support they need. This welcoming space is for sharing knowledge and resources, supporting one another, brainstorming ways to keep our community safe, and exploring opportunities to collaborate together.
Community
This is what community protection looks like. A father and daughter preparing whistle kits, and neighbors explaining why something so simple can make such a big difference.
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.
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.
