Step 1: Form a Patrol

  • Organize a community watch team to patrol the perimeter of the event.
  • Operate in small groups, similar to black bloc tactics, to stay flexible and avoid being isolated.

Step 2: Build Street Barriers

  • Use vehicles parked at 90° angles to the sidewalk to physically block off streets leading into the gathering.
  • Position them so ICE vehicles can’t easily drive in or maneuver.

Step 3: Station Operatives

  • Place volunteers at key choke points.
  • Their job: slow down or disrupt any ICE movement before it reaches the heart of the celebration.
  • Use creativity and determination—whatever slows the advance buys time for the community.

Step 4: Keep the Celebration Alive

  • Hold the event in the open street between the barricades.
  • Keep people visible, united, and unafraid. The celebration itself is part of the defense.

Step 5: Stay Mobile, Stay Safe

  • Always have scouts watching for flanking attempts.
  • Plan clear exit routes in case the situation escalates.
  • Remember: the goal is to protect the people, not get pinned down.

Adapt as necessary in your specific situation and location.
