Good Trouble
Hello Fellow Legumes, especially those in North Carolina. If you haven’t heard, ICE has been making a big presence in our state. I wanted to give you an excellent resource for connecting to others in your area who are working to quickly mobilize our communities.
Red, Wine and Blue has a very active North Carolina Community on their app. If you live in NC and download and join the app you will automatically be added to the North Carolina community (which will show up at the top of your Home Screen). There are tons of resources being shared in the app from organizations already working with the immigrant communities, how to join ICE hotline rapid response teams, to Trouble Nation groups 3D printing whistles and handing them out to those most threatened by ICE. There’s always a place for you in the resistance.
