SUMMARY:To Immigrants With Love | Valentine's Week of Action
DESCRIPTION:This Valentine’s Day week\, people across the country are coming together to show love and solidarity with immigrant communities—and to reject the violent\, intrusive\, and unlawful tactics being carried out by the Trump Department of Homeland Security (DHS)\, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). \n\n\n\nThis is a weekend of nonviolent action\, collective care\, and public accountability. Sign up to show your participation and to receive updates and resources. \n\n\n\nBelow are 4 simple ways to take part. Choose one or take on several. Every action matters. \n\n\n\n1) Share Love & Solidarity on Social Media Use your voice to help flood social media with messages of love\, dignity\, and solidarity for immigrants and their families. \n\n\n\nWhat to do: \n\n\n\n\nPost a message of love and solidarity for immigrant communities Share why you believe immigrants deserve safety\, dignity\, and due process\n\n\n\nLift up stories from your own community if you feel comfortable\n\n\n\n\nPlease use this To Immigrants With Love social media toolkit from FWD.us with sample language\, graphics\, and video templates. Social Toolkit: https://tinyurl.com/5kz75rbf \n\n\n\nWhy it matters: Public narrative shapes public action. When we show up together online\, we counter fear with humanity. \n\n\n\n2) Call on Congress: Demand Accountability from ICE and CBP Congress has the power—and the responsibility—to oversee DHS and stop abuses. \n\n\n\nWhat to do: \n\n\n\n\nCall or email your U.S. Senators and Representative\n\n\n\nDemand real accountability\, transparency\, and consequences for ICE and CBP abuses\n\n\n\nOppose any new funding for ICE or CBP without enforceable oversight and accountability\n\n\n\n\nCall the Capitol switchboard and ask to be connected with your members of Congress: (202) 224-3121 \n\n\n\nYou can also use these quick and simple email tools to send your members of Congress a message right now! \n\n\n\n\nPublic Citizen tool: https://act.citizen.org/page/93402/action/1?locale=en-US\n\n\n\nStand Up America tool: https://act.standupamerica.com/letters/letter-no-ice-funding/\n\n\n\n\n3) Plug into Ongoing Immigrant Rights Actions here on Turn Purple 2 Blue! \n\n\n\nHere are a few more great groups doing important ongoing work! \n\n\n\nNational Daylaborer Organizing Network (NDLON) – Adopt a Corner https://ndlon.org/adopt-a-day-labor-corner/ \n\n\n\nDetention Watch Network – Communities Not Cages https://www.detentionwatchnetwork.org/take-action/communitiesnotcages \n\n\n\nUnited We Dream – Deportation Defense https://unitedwedream.org/our-work/deportation-defense/ \n\n\n\nThe Workers Circle – Freedom Vigils http://freedomvigils.org \n\n\n\nNational Coalition to End Family and Child Detention – Paper Dolls to Free Families: https://tinyurl.com/4w255wpu – Free Families Vigils: https://freefamilies.net/ \n\n\n\n4) Commit to Showing Up for Immigrants in Your Community Solidarity doesn’t stop at policy—it lives in our neighborhoods. \n\n\n\nWhat this can look like: \n\n\n\n\nSupport an immigrant-owned business by donating or buying from them (in MN\, local immigrant owned business are struggling to survive\, and many might not reopen after the occupation)\n\n\n\nConnect through schools and parents associations to provide support to immigrant families\n\n\n\nIf you are a religious person\, ask your pastor to preach from the pulpit and/or connect through a congregation to provide support to families in need\n\n\n\nConnect with local mutual aid networks to provide rides\, translation\, and other kinds of support\n\n\n\nHire a day laborer! Providing a day of work with fair pay is an act of solidarity!\n\n\n\nBake cookies or share a meal with an immigrant family nearby\n\n\n\nSimply check in on neighbors who may be feeling afraid or targeted\n\n\n\nMake it personal: Choose one concrete act of care you can do this weekend—and commit to it.\n\n\n\n\nOur Shared Commitment \n\n\n\nThis weekend is about more than protest. It’s about choosing love over fear\, community over cruelty\, and accountability over abuse of power. No matter how you participate\, thank you for showing up with compassion\, courage\, and solidarity.

SUMMARY:Marshal Training
DESCRIPTION:If you are looking to assist at a protest event you are encouraged to take this training so that local organizations can build a reliable collective of trained marshals to call on. \n\n\n\nMarshaling is a form of organizing people for a safe\, nonviolent\, and enjoyable public event. This 2-hour training covers the job of marshaling for protest demonstrations—such as for an upcoming No Kings! rally or for any march\, sidewalk standout with signs\, or sit-in. In addition to promoting common street safety\, the training will present and demonstrate essential skills to de-escalate interactions with agitated protesters\, the police\, and counter-protesters. These skills are valuable\, not just for marshaling\, but for any activist who participates in demonstrations. \n\n\n\nAbout the trainer: Rebecca Riccio\, founding director of the Social Impact Lab at Northeastern University’s College of Social Sciences and Humanities\, has trained and led marshal teams at many events including the 2019 Boston Climate Strike and the 2025 Hands Off! protest in Boston. \n\n\n\n\nSign Up
