15 things to do about ICE

First off, fuck ICE. But, yes, there are most certainly more things to do than are on this list. Also, this list is going to lean towards Chicago and Illinois-related actions. Many of these come from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) website, the Indivisible Chicago website, and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) website.

  1. Learn your rights when encountering ICE and spread the word about those rights (you can also attend a Know Your Rights Workshop | Taller de Conoce Tus Derechos webinar hosted by ICIRR)
  2. Learn how to recognize the differences between ICE administrative warrants and judicial warrants and spread the word (you can find example images of the different kinds of warrants on National Immigrant Justice Center's website)
  3. Sign up to stay up to date about actions with ICIRR
  4. Donate to ICIRR/Volunteer with ICIRR
  5. Memorize ICIRR's number (1-835-435-7693/1-835-HELP-MY-FAMILY)
  6. If you are safe to do so, know that you have the right to film ICE activity in public spaces. Record at a safe distance and explain what is happening (use the acronym SALUTE (Size, Activity, Location, Uniform, Time, and Equipment/Weapons) or ACTUAR (Actividad, Cuántos y Fuerza, Tiempo y Fecha, Ubicación y Dirección, Armas y Herramienta, y Ropa y Uniforme)). Then, report ICE sightings by calling ICIRR (1-835-435-7693/1-835-HELP-MY-FAMILY). DO NOT upload your video to social media.
  7. Join ICIRR's IL eyes on ICE text network
  8. Attend a Migra Watch Training | Entrenamiento de Migra Watch webinar hosted by ICIRR
  9. Check in on Indivisible Chicago Action Calendar to see scheduled events you can take part in
  10. Sign up to receive Daily Actions from Indivisible Chicago
  11. Join a chapter of Indivisible Chicago/Donate to Indivisible Chicago
  12. Monitor the ACLU's take action page
  13. Donate to the ACLU
  14. If you can, be a Pro Bono Attorney for the National Immigrant Justice Center
  15. If you can, volunteer for Language Services for the National Immigrant Justice Center

15 things you'll think about during your dad's latest hospital stay

This is meant to be a related piece to "15 things to do in your dad's hospital room," "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room," and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" .  The Christmas lights at the nurse's station that should really have been switched for saccharine cupids by now What team decided to hang up a clearly labeled DRAFT safety sign Who comes up with the aliases they seem to use for trauma patients and how they decided on Redstone for your dad That his skin either looks like a bruised elephant or like sickeningly conflicting colors of thin paper mache Where you can possibly get food--you're shaky The patient in the ER somewhere with a lot of ammo, but no gun, or so they say Why the staff is being so happily loud and swearing...it feels discordant The used bandaid and gauze that are left on the floor of his ER room as he moves to his hospital room...the last proof he was there Having to do this a...
