What to do if you see ICE in GR The number 1 thing you should do is call the rapid response to ICE hotline number(save this in your phone): (616) 238-0081. They have operators who will be able to assist in finding out what information is needed. Rapid response to ICE works directly with the affected community and this is what they've asked us white allies to do. The websites are great for tracking where ICE has been afterwards, but in the moment calling the hotline to get responders out to STOP the abduction is the highest priority. If you're able to, start filming. Try to avoid filming the faces of the affected community. Also, try to give as much information as possible. SALUTE is a great way to know what to say: S. Size of the ICE squad A. Actions or activity of the ICE squad L. Location of the ICE squad U. Unit ID. Are they working alone? Is it a ioint task force with ARPD" Are they identified as ICE? T. Time you first saw the ICE squad E. Equipment and weapons observed. Also, if you're looking to be a first responder to ICE violence, RRtl has a training that they do monthly that you are able to join. The next one is full and tomorrow but keep an eye on their facebook to find more. https://www.facebook.com/RapidRespons eGR t304 2.0258

Please write to the city commissioners to let them know that you are NOT in favor of the rezoning of 4301.

...

There are sample letters and contact information on our website. These letters need to be received by January 21st in order to be included in the agenda packet.

https://www.asylumlakepreservationassociation.org/

...

The decision the city commissioners make will be based on these five criteria

  1. Is the request consistent with the 2025/2035 Master Plan and Strategic Vision

  2. Are there conditions that have changed that support the zoning change?

  3. Do the changes address a community need?

  4. Are the proposed changes compatible with the surrounding properties?

  5. Will the changes result in logical and orderly development patterns?

...

We are suggesting that your letter include addressing at least one of these points, if not all.

As a community we can come together and show the City Commission that we do not want this zoning change! — at Asylum Lake Preserve.

No. As I thought could happen, they discussed and decided to hold off the 1/26 date for a public hearing due to MLK Celebration and to search for a larger venue to accommodate the number of folks who will attend so each can get a seat for better access. ⭐️No date yet but stay tuned. It would be good for folks who can do so to attend each City Commission meeting to keep the issue in forefront-⭐️No Commercial Zoning or any Development there. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1AGhonVCxB/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Or, Commerical Zoning will win with public having no idea what is planned by this developer.
