Hey Eyes On ICE community,
It has been a minute since our last major update. I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone, especially our newer folks, that Eyes On ICE is vastly bigger than a single platform or a single voice. We are a decentralized movement. We are built on the foundational idea that compassion must meet accountability, and we show up everywhere the state tries to hide its cruelty.
The bureaucratic machine relies on our silence, our exhaustion, and our isolation. By connecting our resources and our skills, we break that isolation. Here is the full, extensive picture of where you can find us, the tools we have built, and exactly how you can plug in to build the network.
The Eyes On ICE Ecosystem
We operate across multiple spaces because the fight requires different strategies. Here is how our platforms work together to dismantle the narrative of the deportation machine.
Substack (Deep Dives & Permanent Records)
This is our home base for long form journalism, policy breakdowns, historical context, and case studies. There are no paywalls and there never will be. Civil rights work cannot be locked behind a subscription.
TikTok (Rapid Response & Mass Reach)
This is our fastest moving space. We use short videos to break down complex issues, provide live updates, and aggregate the most critical daily news. It is how we reach millions of people who might never read a long article.
Reddit (Organizing & Mutual Aid)
Our dedicated hub for sustained conversation, strategic planning, resource sharing, and community defense. This is where we hold space for real human connection away from suppressed algorithms.
Ko-fi (Movement Sustainability)
For anyone who feels moved to chip in, this is our transparent spot for community support. Every contribution keeps the lights on, but it is always 100% optional. The work continues regardless.
The Eyes On ICE Wiki (Starve the Beast)
Information is our best armor. The Eyes On ICE Wiki is a community driven resource designed to help individuals know their constitutional rights and physically prepare for immigration enforcement actions. It serves as our comprehensive field manual for rapid response, legal aid, and community protection.

How You Can Contribute to Build the Resistance
This movement requires every single one of us. You do not need a law degree or a journalism background to make a massive impact. The state thrives when we are too exhausted to push back. That means every piece of art, every translated flyer, and every shared resource is an active form of resistance.
If you have a skill, the movement needs it. Here is exactly how you can contribute to Eyes On ICE and expand our community toolkit.
Art & Graphics
Create protest posters, digital graphics, data infographics, and visual art that exposes the reality of the deportation machine to the public. Upload images directly to r/eyesonice so the community can save them, print them, and amplify them across other networks.
Flyers & Printables
Design physical flyers, create sticker templates for street action, or translate our Know Your Rights materials into more languages for local distribution. Drop the high resolution files or PDF links into r/eyesonice so organizers in other cities can print and distribute them in their own neighborhoods.
Music & Audio
Produce original protest anthems, spoken word pieces, or impactful audio tracks that we can overlay onto our TikTok videos to boost reach and engagement. Share your audio files or streaming links directly in the subreddit.
Intelligence & Posting
Write local news roundups, share personal stories from the ground, aggregate ICE activity reports in your area, or boost verified mutual aid requests. Start a dedicated thread in r/eyesonice to spark the conversation, organize locally, and keep the community informed.
We are building a decentralized network of protection. Whatever you create, bring it to the subreddit so the community can use it, share it, and turn it into action.
Thank you for being part of this. The work is heavy, the machine is cruel, but our solidarity is stronger. We are in this for the long haul.
And As Always, Please Remember, Open Hearts, Open Minds💗
