We have talked a lot about affinity groups in WFFSJ. I think this is an excellent description. The point is to create even deeper community. If your group chooses, you can take action, big or small - from contacting representatives, to organizing mutual aid, to making signs or posters.

On Thursday, December 11th at 5:30am, my cousin was taken by ICE while he was on his way to work near Columbia Blvd and Kenton Park. Vehicles blocked him, and although he asked for a warrant, ICE proceeded to take him, leaving his car abandoned on the side of the road. gofund.me/a254e3985

Are you still using Spotify Premium? Cancel your subscription until Spotify stops running ICE ads. There are other streaming options that don’t profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify
(around the Spotify logo) GET ICE OUT OF SPOTIFY

ICE DOESN’T NEED A PLAYLIST.
IT NEEDS ACCOUNTABILITY.

• Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads
• Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts.
• Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Everyone knows to call 911 in emergencies, right? Everyone should know: if you think you see ICE in Oregon, call the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition hotline: (888) 622-1510 pircoregon.org DON'T POST IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. That often spreads rumors or old news, causes panic, doesn't help.

Well done, Portland. About 200 people gathered in the AM for a #NoKings rally at James John school and march past the farmers market. Tens of thousands of us later marched downtown. We chanted, "No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here!" A sign said, "We refuse to dehumanize or be dehumanized."
