In this report, participants in a march against ICE in Philadelphia reflect on how to move from symbolic protests and top-down organizational models to effective autonomous action.

As the conflict between federal mercenaries and the people of the Twin Cities intensifies, others around the country are looking for concrete ways to act in solidarity in order to divide the attention and resources of federal forces. We encourage everyone who participates in demonstrations to show up in affinity groups, having prepared concrete plans as to what they hope to accomplish and bold proposals to share with others.

The more agency and initiative each of us brings to our collective activity, the more powerful our movements will be.
