It takes significant local organizing to make that happen. Where I am, we have a bunch of very local Signal chats which dispatch groups of volunteers whenever ICE is spotted, along with noise-making to turn out people within earshot
That’s awesome to hear!! I’m in some broader Philly area chats but it seemed like nobody was actually that close to me at all. I think they must exist though, because like an hour after I replied to this post, I passed by a protest only 15 minutes away from home. So, people are definitely coordinating somewhere or other.

Next time you run into a protest, ask how you can get involved
I absolutely will!!
How does one hook into these sorts of things?
