Weekend Update: Rally for Democracy, Food Drive & Whistle Kit Packing
What to know about this coming weekend
Dear neighbors,
We have confirmed that we will have materials available for whistle kit packing this weekend! Come help build kits to help the community blow the whistle on ICE, and please also take one so you can have it at the ready when needed. Learn more about the effort here: https://migrawhistle.carrd.co/
Sunday 12/28: Weekly Rally for Democracy, Food/Essentials Drive, and Whistle Kits
This Sunday December 28th, join OC Indivisible Coalition & 50501 Orange County at Irvine City Hall from 2-4pm for our weekly Rally for Democracy!
Help us blow the whistle on ICE! Come help package up whistles, zines, and red cards for our local community defense groups (and for you!). Find and join your local defense hub here.
Plus, the food & essentials drive is still on. Priority items include cooking oil, canned meals, protein, toilet paper, body and dish soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, and diapers in larger sizes.
Reminder: Through at least the end of the year, Sunday rallies in Irvine will continue to be an “unplugged”, scaled-back version of what we normally do as volunteers rest and recuperate from 9 months of nonstop weekly and daily organizing. We will still be collecting mutual aid donations each week and providing an upbeat and safe space for protesters, but there will be no speaking program or pop-up tents. Not to worry, we will be incorporating survey results into new and refreshed actions in the new year!
Sunday December 28th, 2PM-4PM
Irvine City Hall (Alton & Harvard)
Saturday 12/27 and 1/3: Self-Defense Classes Canceled
