Anyone who believes a sanctuary city like Tucson will NOT be a target of the president's armed militia is, at this point, willfully ignorant or wildly naive. So why is Tucson not actively preparing for the inevitable?
Please Mayor Romero, our Rapid Response Team, Pima County Board of Supervisors, TPD and anyone else with a credible voice and active social media presence, we need your help! As witnessed in Minneapolis, we can begin by distributing whistles and exchanging contact info with our neighbors. We can pack and deliver food boxes to households living in fear. With training, we can escort kids to school or community members to immigration appointments. As a city, we need to be prepared.
And because there is real urgency now, we -- the people -- need immediate help getting organized. We need meeting places, channels of communication and - sometimes - training. We need experienced community organizers and social media influencers. Most importantly, we need our local leaders to assume responsibility for preparing us for what is sure to come.
