ICE Watch/Defense and Community Preparedness to be held in Shaker Heights on March 15, 3-5pm. Location will be shared shortly before the training after you RSVP
The response to this training was so huge last month that IRTF (together with Cleveland Heights for Immigrant Rights) is holding another one March 15 with an added chance to learn how Shaker and Cleveland are working to fight the expansion of Flock (a camera system that feeds data into databases that ICE have direct access to) so we can begin to organize to end Cleveland Heights’ Flock contract.
ICE Defense Training: When ICE shows up in our community, what can we do? How can we be prepared to defend our neighbors, alert the public to their presence, be legal observers, and deter ICE's illegal and inhumane actions? Many cities are building out structured networks ready to do ICE defense work. We are doing the same here in Cleveland Heights so we can be ready when ICE is here. We may spend more time on breakout groups and further developing hyper local groups and school-based groups if people who already attended the February training show up.
