Shut Down ICE VT Oct Week of Action Interest Form

Please use this form to stay in the loop about the Shut Down ICE Week of Action planned in Vermont Oct 4-9! We'll use the information gathered here to connect you with information and resources so you can participate fully, whatever that means to you. Nothing you indicate here is a firm commitment, and you are under no requirement to fill this out to participate in however way you like. What is this again? Check out details on our website: ShutdownICEvt.org Why are you guys doing a signup form? We appreciate you helping us smoothly coordinate logistics. Because we are supplying meals, medics, supplies, and in many cases, housing, it helps significantly to have a rough headcount of how many people will be there so we don't have shortages by underestimating turnout, or waste energy & resources by overestimating turnout! In addition, this helps us get the word out & communicate details and more in depth plans through ways that are not as dependent on the algorithms of capitalist tech companies. If we are fully reliant on social media, its impossible to ensure that everyone who wants to see an announcement sees it. Where does this form go? The backend of this form lives in an encrypted, self-hosted baserow instance on a secure server. Our tech team actively maintains that server to ensure your data stays private, and we are deeply committed to resisting efforts by the state or other actors to access this data. Only a small segment of our core team of organizers has access to this backend. In addition, we plan to delete the data after the week of action! At the end of the day, do what you need to/want to to feel secure coming here. We deeply value both keeping your data safe from repression, and having an effective week of action. If you still feel uncomfortable filling out a form, feel free to email us instead! Filling out this form is the best way to connect with us right now, but we're also on instagram and facebook (@shutdown.icevt) or you can email us at Info@shutdownicevt.org

Can we support you in finding housing for the week of action in or near Chittenden County?

We want to make it easy for folks to attend this action, and are committed to working with participants to make sure everyone has a safe place to stay. If you're able to find yourself housing*, that's awesome. If not, we're absolutely here to help. *Please note that we're asking folks to avoid AirBNB because it's a pressure target of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement and also a driver of gentrification more generally. If you can afford to cover your own housing but need guidance on alternatives to AirBNB, stay tuned for guidance!

If you're local to Chittenden County or live nearby, would you be open to hosting a non-local participant?

If you answer yes, we'll follow up with you for more details!

Which of these days do you plan to join us? *

Check all that apply! We welcome your participation for as many or as few days as you're available. If you're not sure, give us your best current guess. You can always adjust later!
