Call to Action: MOBILIZE AND PROTECT
Friday, December 19, 2025 - 11am
e want to make sure that our Muslim neighbors stay safe from ICY conditions tomorrow. We are asking for volunteers to be a part of a community safety initiative at the local mosques. Volunteers will keep an eye out for ICY activity and vehicles. Volunteers will make sure that doors are blocked during the prayer. We are hoping to provide safety at the most vulnerable mosques around the city. Twenty people are needed at each of the main Somali mosques, from 11 am to 3 pm.
Please sign up at this link (the date on the form says the 18, but it's for the 19th)

ICE Watch and Community Defense
Friday, December 19, 2025 - 3:00 PM
This training will share important skills for documenting ICE activity and supporting neighbors in your community. ICE Watch is a key strategy being used by groups across the country to protect their communities against aggressive activity by ICE agents. Practicing ICE Watch protects our neighborhoods from immigration enforcement by ensuring our community members know their rights, have a plan, and know how to act in the event of targeting by ICE. In addition to covering the basics of ICE Watch, we will discuss new analysis on ICE operations and safety guidance.
