Rogers Park Businesses Against ICE
Are you a business in Rogers Park who hates ICE?
Us too! We are building a coalition of businesses in Rogers Park who oppose ICE, their presence, and the harm they do to our communities.
As a small business (with facilitators based in Rogers Park who are also community organizers), we
see some needs surfacing that we’d like to bring folks together to address (training, supplies, gathering spaces)
would like to publicly share what businesses oppose ICE in Rogers Park
The only requirement to sign on is that businesses with physical locations put up a sign that makes clear ICE is not allowed. We are also hoping for financial contributions to cover training supplies, but this is not mandatory.
We are building this together.
We are in the very early stages and welcome feedback.
Trainings
Our first event will be a protester health and safety training (including how to treat tear gas + pepper spray) on December 11 facilitated by Ujimaa Medics. We have capacity for 30 participants and will share more information soon.
Gathering Spaces
We are also envisioning spaces for folks to come decompress and not be alone after patrol/verifier shifts. We will put a larger call out asking for healers and mental health professionals who would like to hold such a space but don’t have a venue yet.
If you’re interested in hosting a training, healing space or gathering, please fill out this form.
Join our growing coalition!
