“ICE Is Not Welcome Here”: Denver Rallies for Justice

Organizers with the Denver chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation gathered this week to demand accountability and justice following the death of Renee Nicole Good, an incident that has sparked outrage in Denver and across the country after video footage circulated online.

Demonstrators condemned what they describe as escalating ICE violence and fear-based tactics meant to intimidate communities and suppress resistance to immigration raids. Organizers emphasized that we can’t allow this moment to silence protest or deter people from responding when neighbors and loved ones are targeted.

Eyes on ICE Mass Call: Protect Yourself Legally

This urgent call features speakers from the ACLU discussing "Eyes on ICE: Document and Record" following the tragic killing of Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE officers. The panel provides crucial guidance on reducing risks during interactions with law enforcement, and highlights personal safety and legal rights. This video is a must-see for anyone concerned with community safety.

FSTV Speaks

2026 has begun with the Trump administration aggressively escalating open and flagrant lawlessness, testing the limits of executive power and normalizing repression. From attacks on civil liberties to the targeting of marginalized communities, the strategy is clear. Intimidate, exhaust, and silence opposition.

But history shows that fear is exactly what authoritarian movements rely on, and it is also their greatest weakness.

Now is not the moment to retreat. It is the moment to organize smarter, move together, and escalate nonviolent tactics that disrupt systems of abuse while expanding public support.

Visit FreedomTrainers.net to equip yourself with the nonviolent skills needed to fracture an authoritarian's base of support.
