I am resisting in place. I won’t march, and I already hold public office, it’s called Public Librarian. I make queer and trans people feel at home and change their name in the catalog and if my coworkers change it back, I change it again. I make rainbow brochures and when they get stolen and trashed I make more. I put book challenge info on the website. I’m safe zone trained and in the trenches. We may need extra funding soon so please remember and support us.

@jillrhudy You are a true ally. Have librarians talked about what to do if ICE tries to check all the brown people and arrest some?

You could give out red cards with what to do. Some states have hotline numbers to volunteer lawyers too. Librarians are in a good position to video the whole interaction

Red cards are generic, available in many languages. You can make your own with the text.

@jillrhudy The Red Card organization has artwork ready to be printed out for free.

Here's the link to the artwork in English and many languages.

Maybe print out some other languages too, depending on who's in your community

https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas

Maybe display the Spanish version of the How to use your red card poster. It's a link in the middle of the page

It's time critical to get the info out to everyone. Thank you for helping!

All people in the United States, regardless of immigration status, have certain rights and protections under the U.S. Constitution.

@3x10to8mps thank you. My parents’ caregivers are afraid which makes me *so angry.*

@jillrhudy Your folks could print out the poster and role play with them so they won't freak out if ICE stops them on the street. So they will have practiced staying calm and saying I don't want to answer questions and the rest of the right replies.

Plus it would make your folks feel like they're helping

I am so angry about all of this I can't see straight
