Whistles are by far the most effective tactic for protecting people from brutal ICE raids. I have been having whistles 3-D printed for this purpose and bundling them with instruction cards. They are VERY LOUD when blown with only modest effort. Most have been printed with recycled fiber.

So far, I have handed out over 60 Whistles with cards. They’ll be available at most LTDO events; please PM me on Facebook if you’d like to pick up whistles from my porch.

Report any sightings at icirr.org/fsn or call 855-435-7693.

State Rep. Janet Yang Rohr, LTDO member and PC, has once again stepped up to advocate for the disability community. The issue at hand is a proposed move by the state to drastically cut hours and funding for services that benefit individuals with developmental disabilities residing in group homes. Rep. Yang Rohr joined with other members of the General Assembly to lobby the Governor’s office to rethink this decision. Thanks to this action, the state announced last week that it has postponed these proposed cuts indefinitely. We thank Rep. Yang Rohr for her continued advocacy for, and friendship shown to, the disability community.
