Episode Description
In which everyone invokes their rights: Dunk demands a trial by combat, Aerion invokes an old tradition to up the numbers, and we find out that some people might have more and better rights than others. Thankfully, some people are willing to do something about it, big or small.

Reminder: You can and should still contact your congresspeople to not only add guardrails around ICE but to defund (and dismantle) them.
Find and call your congresspeople by phoning the Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121
All you have to do is say the name of your Senator or Representative, and you'll be directed to their congressional office.
Not sure who represents you in Congress or how to find them? You can also find more of their contact information and their name on this site: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member
Besides calling Congress, if you're not sure what you can do, here are some more actions you can take, in no particular order:
-
Get involved with mutual aid (this will differ depending on where you're based, so we didn't include any links)
-
Donate to mutual aid or to organizations such as the ACLU, RAICES, National Immigration Project, Legal Aid Justice Center or local orgs that may need more support.
-
Find a local rapid response effort and save their number to your phone. Know what to look for and what to report.
-
Protest.
-
Attend a bystander training or response training.
-
Pressure local officials, employers, and landlords to refuse to cooperate with ICE.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. Other actions you can take exist. Please do what you can.
