Call a group tracking ICE detention in your area and ask if they collect live reports. If they do, ask where you can find their reporting guidelines. If they don’t, ask who to call if you see an event in progress where you live. Store that phone number under a nickname you’ll remember in a stressful moment.

As they work to remove reproductive control, we fight back. While you can’t stock the abortion pill, you CAN stock the morning after pill that prevents pregnancy. The sooner you take it the less likely pregnancy will occur, so add some to your medicine chest today, and if you have young people around, make sure they know it’s there for anyone who needs it.

Remember how we all learned our home phone number as kids? Today, I couldn’t call my own mother from memory. Choose one person you could call in an emergency and memorize their number.
