ICE is in Northern MI. Free printable signs now available for businesses to protect workers & require legal entry procedures. Establish your rights & create documentation for accountability. Download, print, post, share. www.traverseindivisible.org/resources/ic... Our community stands together.

🚨 ICE's $28.7B budget is building a massive domestic surveillance machine. They're buying spyware, facial recognition, phone crackers & social media monitors, targeting activists, immigrants, and citizens alike. Look up #Webloc & #Tangle Read this article www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... Push back.

This community is strong. This nation is strong. We are strong. Hold fast.

Weather Update: We're seeing reports that road conditions will be very slick in Traverse City this Fri, Sat, and Sun. Please let your neighbors know to drive carefully. We aren't a weather service, but we do want to look out for the safety of the community.

Spotify stopped running ICE ads after months of boycott pressure, just like Avelo stopped deportation flights. These companies only bend when we push. Your boycott worked. Their morality ends where profits begin but our pressure doesn't. We did this. We'll do it again. More tinyurl.com/5fp6fn6r

WIN: Avelo Airlines is OUT. After months of protests & boycotts, they cancelled their DHS charter. They claim restructuring but the message is clear: partnering with ICE has consequences. ICE still flies, boycotts continue, but today we celebrate. You did this. ✅ newrepublic.com/post/205070/...
