Solidarity with Minneapolis!!
HOW IT WORKS: Community defenders stop an out of state vehicle at the filter blockade, run the plate through a database, and confirm whether the vehicle is affiliated with abductors before letting it through.

To all folks in #MountVernonWA and #BurlingtonWA: Know the whistle signals that alert communities to the presence of ICE!
Short sharp blasts mean ICE is driving or lurking.
Long loud blasts mean ICE is abducting someone.
Get a whistle yourself and keep it on your person at all times!
