Close The Camps! - A Month of Actions at ICE Field Office in San Francisco
DAY 1 - Press Conference and Drummers.
August 1, 2019
Powerful words from Pennie Opal Plant (Indigenous grandmother and cofounder - Idle No More SF Bay) and others, to lead off a month of noon-time actions outside ICE headquarters in San Francisco.
Every day of August (except 2) has been claimed by a different sector or community group (librarians, health care workers, poets, drummers, lawyers, journalists, tenants rights activists, comedians, bartenders/restaurant workers, climate and environmental justice groups...).

Never Again is NOW.
August 17 - Poets converged in front of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) San Francisco on a powerful Day 17 of a Month of Actions to CLOSE THE CAMPS!
Kanyon (Coyote Woman) Sayers-Roods and native drummers led off the noon rally with words to ground the crowd in the roots that tie us together. “When we recognize that all of us have ancestors indigenous to the earth, when we recognize that we will honor our ancestors, that no matter where we come from, our ancestors are indigenous to those lands. We need to reconnect to these roots. [...] We ARE people of this earth. We have a responsibility to be stewards of these lands. We have a responsibility to each other to respect and honor our humility, our humanity, and how we are just people of this earth. We cannot own it. We cannot sell it. We should not degrade it. We should not damage her. [...] Let’s stand together, let’s celebrate our diversity and stand for humanity. Welcome to Yelamu. Welcome to Ohlone territory.”
Every day of this month of August, different groups or communities of interest are coming together outside the ICE building in San Francisco to CLOSE THE CAMPS.

Let’s improve our world one stitch at a time. Join our ‘gentle protest’ and create embroidered post-it notes (yep, you heard right!) to remind us all to be part of the change we wish to see in the world, where everyone is treated how we would like to be treated.
In this fast-paced world, a physical object like a post-it can be a powerful tool to take us out of our auto-pilot-robotic actions and remind us to stop, think and strive to be our best selves in all that we say and do. I use them often!
It’s easy to forget to think about how our actions affect others when we are focused on meeting deadlines. Often we are so caught up with our own activities and concerns we don’t notice if anyone around us is hurt (that can be the bullied or the bully).
This weekend, slow down and join us in some craftivism (activism using craft). Make time to craft your thoughts into pretty embroidered post-it notes. For the changemaker simple repetitive hand stitching can be a powerful tool to be mindful of our actions and words and how we can live intentionally to help not to harm others. Use our #crafterthought questions when your brain is wandering off to reflect on the message you are creating and how you can be part of this revolution.
“WE’RE PUMPED TO BE PARTNERING WITH CRAFTIVIST COLLECTIVE FOR #MONTHOFACTION’S GET ARTSY CHALLENGE. WE LOVE HOW SARAH EMPHASIZES THE MEDITATIVE PROCESS OF CRAFTING — A USEFUL OUTLET IF YOU’RE COPING WITH BULLYING OR JUST NEED A MENTAL BREAK. SARAH’S WORK SHOWS US THE POWER OF ART AND CRAFT TO COMMUNICATE BIG IDEAS IN SIMPLE WAYS. TRANSFORMING SOMETHING AS EVERYDAY AND DISPOSABLE AS A POST-IT NOTE INTO A HAND-STITCHED, LASTING MESSAGE REMINDS US THAT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF EFFORT AND CREATIVITY, A FEW SIMPLE WORDS CAN MAKE AN INDELIBLE IMPACT.”
– Michael Wood, creative director, Bystander Revolution
Crafterthoughts:
If I was being bullied how would I want people to help me?
How can I show love to a bully to help them stop bullying others?
Using my talents and voice how can I be part of the bystander revolution?
Decide if you are going to keep your embroidered post-its to help you tackle bullying or if you are going to give them as gifts, or quietly leave them for particular people to see, or put them up for many people to see such as in your school, office, park, cafe or anther public place (see our suggestions below). We hope these embroidered post-its not only show that someone is shown commitment in joining the Bystander Revolution by taking part in this slow form of activism but we hope this weekend creative campaign will also surprise and intrigue people, provoke thought, conversation and change.

August 8 - Day 8 - Refuse Fascism
On day 8 of a month of actions to CLOSE THE CAMPS, Refuse Fascism brought the crowd together in front of ICE San Francisco.
The signs and the pictures of the children who have died in US custody along the border, along with pictures of those killed in El Paso, clearly reflected the sentiment of the crowd.
Rallies are happening at noon in front of the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) building in San Francisco every day this month of August. Each rally is being self organized by a different community or group or interest.
