@cmalexaaviles.bsky.social handed out these awesome little stickers with QR codes for what to do if ICE comes. Here's the website it points to: www.immi.org/en/Home/make...

Alexa Avilés speaks into a hot pink bullhorn while holding up red stickers with immigration info on them.

Close of the red sticker - it says "BE READY FOR ICE RAIDS / SCAN TO MAKE A PLAN" The QR code leads to https://www.immi.org/en/Home/make-a-plan
