there r ppl here protesting daily. we’re driving them nuts in broadview. in my ward, on the northside, we have 2 weekly visibility actions that r growing all the time.
i’ve lost count of the downtown protests. they practically organize themselves.
a lot of our electeds have been on the front lines, too.
when ice shows up, it flashes through social media. we’re recording everything.

we’re not even close to rolling over.
