Our 25 weekly visibility protests saw double and triple the previous attendance during the week of the CBP deployment in Charlotte. Several were return participants. Yet many were first-time protesters who felt an immediate need to stand up against the assault on their neighbors and their community. As one working mom said while taking time out of the workday to protest: “The Nazis are here, so when my kids ask ‘what
did you do?’ I need to be able to say I fought back.”

NEW TARGETED PROTEST: HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS
Did you know that local Hendrick Motorsports profits from ICE? Hendrick received a $2.2 million no-bid contract to supply ICE vehicles. Visibility CLT has begun special pop up protests to tell Hendrick and the community that Hendrick Motors puts profits over people. Check the pop up schedule for upcoming protests targeting Hendrick Motorsports at Rama+Monroe Rd. Sign up HERE.
SIGNS OF FASCISM PROTESTS
Indivisible Charlotte is joining with activists around the country in holding special Signs of Fascism protests. Local artist and member Linda Vista created special black placards that describe warning signs of fascism based on Lawrence W. Britt’s article 14 Characteristics of Fascism. The warning signs are readily compared to actions of the Trump regime by casual viewers. When carried by black-clad protesters, they make a sobering display that jogs the conscience. Check OUR SCHEDULE for details.

ICLT is committed to nonviolent action, and we expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential
confrontation with those who disagree with us. Signs and chants must not incite violence. Of course, there’s always an inherent risk to protesting.
