Got an idling 3D printer? Want to do something in the fight against ICE, but don’t know how to get involved? You can 3D print whistles for folks in communities that may be targeted by ICE!
Why whistles?
- Instant alert system
- Faster and harder to sensor than social media
- Simple, cheap, effective
- Noise = visibility
- Turns silence into community action
- The sound gathers a crowd whenever and wherever ICE shows up
- Already being used to great effect in cities like LA and Chicago
Once you 3D print some whistles, you can either drop them off with us, or we can send someone to pick them up from you. You don’t even have to leave your home to contribute!
No 3D printer? Still lots of ways to help out: Assemble whistle kits, contribute money, translate materials, spread the word, etc.

And you don’t need to join anything to get started. Just download and print!
FAQ
Q: Why not just buy whistles?
A: We do that too, but 3D printed ones are cheaper. (And can be made on demand, customized easily, etc.)
Q: When is ICE coming to Seattle?
A: They’re already here and kidnapping people daily.
When you use whistles to gather a big crowd around ICE, sometimes they lose their nerve and just drive off. Or even if they don’t, now you’ve got tons of people to document ICE interactions, take video to give to immigration attorneys to be used in court, etc. It’s a lot more difficult for fascists to do fascist shit when they’re being watched and recorded. In some cases a big crowd can even de-arrest people.
