Will be at the KC protest. Hit me up if you're going solo, will be there with a small group of friendly but angry friends.
Drink a lot of water now, friend. Make sure your body is ready.Yeah - it's gonna be hot tomorrow in DC. Errybody wear that sunscreen, bring water and Gatorade-like things.
Going to SF's. Need those fancy ABOLISH ICE posters. Hope someone has extra.
If there isn't at least one sign that says "ICE ICE BABY" with a cage drawn around/over the "Baby" then the protest is a failure no matter what good comes of it.

The protesters chanted "Abolish ICE," and "Where are the kids?" and covered themselves in foil blankets meant to resemble those separated children were given to sleep on in detention facilities.
If you can't make it to a protest, Felicia Day is hosting a charity stream benefiting RAICES with guests and giveaways.
Starts in about an hour.
Already went to a satellite protest at Rockville Centre on Long Island. My sign wasn't original but for me it says it all.
