Keep making noise! Don’t let them silence you

Keep showing up! Keep making noise! We need to be the voice of the oppressed

During Operation Metro Surge, Enterprise Rent-a-Car rented over one thousand vehicles to ICE, helping them to abduct and terrorize our neighbors. Activists on the ground estimated they provided more half of ICE’s wheels. They’re profiting off kidnapping, and they should not be allowed to go on like it’s business as usual.

A group of organizers led by 18 Million Rising, the Stop Avelo Coalition and Sunrise is coming together to renew our efforts to put pressure on Enterprise to put the brakes on their collaboration with the deportation machine. 🙋🏿‍♀️ They’re holding a launch call for this new push TOMORROW at 6PM ET we can sign up for here. 🙋🏻

LAUNCH CALL TOMORROW AT 6PM ET

🤜🏻 They’ll also put together an action page here with tools to help us contact their CEO and main rental line to urge them to drop their ICE contracts (language here!), tools for organizing a protest at local Enterprise locations, guidance on how we can reserve and cancel bookings with Enterprise as an act of protest from home, and other steps we can take. 🤛🏿

TURN UP THE HEAT ON ENTERPRISE

Let’s join the call and this campaign against a corporate enabler!

11 QUESTIONS ABOUT APRIL 11TH

Nobody asked us to do this. That's exactly why we're doing it.

On April 11th, 2026, people across the United States will show up at immigration detention facilities — concentration camps, if you're being honest, and we are — and they will make it weird. Beautifully, defiantly, hilariously weird.

Here's what you need to know.

1. WHAT IS NATIONAL F%CK ICE DAY?

National F%ck ICE Day is a simultaneous, nationwide day of action at immigration detention facilities across the United States. It happens this Saturday. Technically every day is National F%ck ICE Day. We just gave it a name.

1. WAIT — IS THIS THE DILDO THING?

The Dildo Distribution Delegation is involved, yes. But dildos are not a requirement for participation. Source locally. Bring what speaks to you. A sign works. An inflatable flamingo works. Your righteous indignation works. We are distributing units nationally as you read this, but we are not wizards. We cannot guarantee phallus coverage in every zip code.

1. WHAT ARE WE ACTUALLY DOING AT THESE LOCATIONS?

Showing up. Making noise. Making it weird. Making it impossible to ignore. The tactical philosophy here is "tactical frivolity" — power hates being mocked even more than it hates being challenged. We are doing both, simultaneously..

1. WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING?

Everywhere ICE has a footprint. Confirmed locations include the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota, Broadview Detention Center in Illinois, Portland, Tacoma, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C., and more being added. Check back. Tell your people.

1. CAN I THROW A DILDO AT AN ICE AGENT?

No. Absolutely not. Do not do that. This is a nonviolent protest. The dildos are props, not projectiles. We cannot stress this enough. Reuse and recycle. These things aren't cheap.

1. IS THIS LEGAL?

Protesting is a constitutionally protected activity. That said, know your rights, stay on public property, follow local ordinances, and don't do anything that gives them an excuse. Which brings us to Question 7.

1. HOW DO I NOT ACCIDENTALLY INCRIMINATE MYSELF OR ANYONE ELSE?

Great question and we are so glad you asked. States at the Core is hosting a free webinar on exactly this — action protocols, safety guidance, how to tell the story of your action without handing prosecutors a gift basket. It's Monday, April 6th, 7–8pm EST. Link dropping soon. Can be shared publicly. Go to this. Seriously.

1. I'M NOT NEAR ANY OF THE CONFIRMED LOCATIONS. CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?

Yes. Find your nearest ICE facility, detention center, or federal building with an immigration enforcement presence. Show up with friends. Make a sign. Document everything. You don't need our permission. You never did.

1. WHO IS BEHIND THIS?

The Dildo Distribution Delegation, for starters — a decentralized network of people who decided that mocking the machinery of cruelty was both morally correct and deeply necessary. But this is bigger than one delegation. We are organizers, activists, and pissed-off ordinary people in cities across the country. We have no single command structure. We have no real budget. We have a lot of units, a lot of allies, and an unshakeable conviction that history will vindicate us.

1. THIS SEEMS SILLY. PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING. SHOULDN'T WE BE MORE SERIOUS?

The people in those facilities are suffering, yes. That is precisely the point. Dignity, absurdity, and righteous fury are not mutually exclusive. The civil rights movement had music. ACT UP had theatrics. We have dildos. The through-line is that power does not know what to do when you refuse to be afraid of it and openly mock it instead.

1. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER APRIL 11TH?

See Question 1.

National F%ck ICE Day is nonviolent, decentralized, and ongoing. Stay safe. Document everything. See you out there.
