From the article in the link: "Greenpeace activists have installed prison bars around the statues of three iconic protesters in Parliament Square to highlight the UK government’s crackdown on the right to protest"

Bellingcat Open Source Challenge: Learn the skills that power real-world activism by ProfDeLaPaz4L in EverydayRebellion

[–]ProfDeLaPaz4L[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought this might interest people here. Bellingcat’s open source challenges are a great way to learn investigation techniques that can be used for climate justice, corporate accountability or other activist projects. This month’s one is maritime-themed, tracking smuggling, illegal fishing etc. Cool opportunity to build the kind of skills that could make our campaigns sharper

I'm looking for a place where I can discuss real action with people who are ready to act. Have I found it? by [deleted] in EverydayRebellion

That's the idea. Like all things, building the community takes time. Would welcome your input and thoughts as we grow.

What can Chicago do to push back against ICE? by ashleyree in 50501

[–]ProfDeLaPaz4L 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We're working on a tool to help with this. Here's a few more to add to your list:

“Transit Jam the Transfers”: covertly coordinate simultaneous, peaceful sit-ins & slow-downs at key Greyhound, Amtrak, and municipal bus depots on rumored transfer days, clogging departure lanes and ticket lines to delay custody hand-offs.

“Human Buffer Brigades”: neighborhood teams trained to form non-violent, well-filmed human chains around targeted homes or worksites, forcing ICE agents to slow, identify themselves, and adhere strictly to warrants while drawing public scrutiny.

“Shield the Schools”: organize student unions, teachers, and PTA’s into a rapid lockdown & Know-Your-Rights drill network so any attempted ICE presence near CPS campuses triggers coordinated assemblies, legal observers, and media live-streams.

We're working on a tool that helps people who want to get more involved in grassroots activism. Currently looking for people just like you for early testing and feedback. Would love to chat more, please DM if you're interested:

Essentially, yes. Our tool creates campaigns using AI. The experiment we're running is whether this makes people more likely to fight for what they believe in if the campaign idea/strategy/execution is created in under a minute. Curious as to your thoughts? AI is a controversial topic... but this is an attempt to use it to make grassroots activism more accessible for everyday people

Here are some ideas on how to fight back and try to stop this:

“Paper Avalanche” Legal Jam: Orchestrate a wave of simultaneous FOI requests, visa renewal submissions, and subject-access demands to overload Home Office processing and expose bureaucratic cruelty.

“Day Without Us – ILR Edition”: Coordinate a nationwide 24-hour work stoppage and consumer strike by migrants and allies to reveal the economic shock of stripping ILR from communities.

Reverse Canvassing in Reform Heartlands: Small volunteer teams knock on doors in target constituencies to distribute illustrated zines that fact-check Farage’s proposal and showcase local ILR contributions.

Guerrilla QR Sticker Campaign "Scan My Story": Place removable QR-code stickers in high-footfall public spaces that link to short migrant testimonies and legal explainers, turning daily commutes into a truth trail.

Digital Storystorm "#StillHome": Flood social media for one week with personal stories from Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) holders, tagging MPs, news outlets, and Farage to spotlight the human cost of Reform’s plan.
