ICE Out for Good vigils and rallies are being tracked online by Indivisible, the group behind the No Kings protests

More than a thousand protests are planned across the US this Saturday and Sunday after an ICE agent killed US citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis this week.

“This weekend, people all over are coming together not just to mourn the lives lost to ICE violence, but to confront a pattern of harm that has torn families apart and terrorized our communities,” said Leah Greenberg, co-executive director of Indivisible, an organizer of “ICE Out for Good Weekend of Action”.

    Americans will never learn this non-violent shit does nothing. They don’t care about your signs, your chants, dressing up like a frog, none of that is a threat to their existence. Until they feel threatened nothing will change. And that 3.5% non-violent protest bs is to keep everyone passive.

    Good! Keep them going, come back every week, build momentum. This is the first step, don’t stop now. Motivate people by showing that you are here and you won’t let them get away with it. Gather into specific spots like you did for Occupy, block roads, unionize and organize yourselves.

    1000 events that will accomplish nothing. Just like No Kings.

    Nothing is going to happen to ICE or the self proclaimed president of Venezuela—Trump.

      Oh yes the “you need to literally forfeit your life attempting to start an armed revolution or you might as well do nothing” comment.

      Well go ahead you first

      Until this guy gets the revolution started everyone else keep up the protests and civil disobedience

        There’s a lot between holding a sign and shooting a gun. The reason nothing will ever happen is because you refuse to see that.

          Frankly I can’t think of any movement or resitance in history that didn’t involve either a protest or violence at some point.

          You refuse to accept that protesting builds movements to the point where they can create large action. Certainly was part of the civil rights movement.

          I definently support the people actually going to and organizing protesters a whole lot more than someone bitching online that this isn’t enough. Go ahead be the change you want to see

            I see zero momentum. There is absolutely no difference between an ice protest and no kings. It’s gonna be the same people. Probably fewer. Same end result—nothing.

            You can be frank until you’re blue in the face, but that doesn’t change reality. You just cannot accept that this country is done, despite the overwhelming evidence.

            And, when someone ruins your good vibes with reality—you lash out and clutch your useless picket sign! The tactics of the civil rights movement worked THEN. They will not work NOW.

              General strikes and Civil disobedience won’t work now?

              Kinda running out of options that don’t involve guns bud.

              You just cannot accept that this country is done

              Oh gotcha you’re just not even wanting to try anything at all. Thanks for clearing that up.

                Again, you only see picket signs vs bullets.

                I must not be willing to try ANYTHING because I disagree with you. Despite me saying otherwise this whole time.

                Like I said, clutch you picket signs and block your ears.

                Have the day you fought for 💋
