Colorado Whistles

Neighbors distributing whistles and resources to keep each other safe.

Whistle Protocol

Grab a whistle and follow these basics to help your neighbors:

ICE Nearby Code Red
Blow in short bursts Blow in long blasts
PRE-PRE-PRE! PREEEEE-PREEEEE-PREEEEE
Alerts the community that ICE agents are in the area. ICE is detaining someone. Form a crowd. Stay loud. Stay nonviolent. Don’t stay silent.

Why a Whistle?

  • A simple tool for fast alerts.

  • Loud. Recognizable. Impossible to ignore.

  • Our voices are stronger together.

On the Streets

Whistles guide people to:

  • Follow ICE caravans.

  • Catch up with the crowd.

  • Alert neighbors to join in.

Noise = Visibility.

Why it Works

  • Instant alert system.

  • Faster than social media.

  • Turns silence into community action.

  • Proven in Chicago, Portland, and Minneapolis.

What You Can Do

  • Wear your whistle around your neck.

  • Teach family & neighbors the codes.

  • Use it when ICE is spotted.

  • Protect each other, always.
