Ep 24: From Panic to Protocol: Real-Time Responses to ICE Raids in Your Community  
Podcast: Interrupting Business As Usual
Published On: Sun Jun 15 2025
Description: ICE raids aren't random news items—they're state-sanctioned acts of racialized violence that can hit your block without warning. It's well past time to prepare. In this episode, Nikki helps you cut through the panic, guiding you from "What do I do?" to automatic solidarity in under 30 minutes. You'll learn: Why it's critical for us to prepare ahead of time. The issue with "causes" and how collective liberation is a lifestyle choice. A three-step rapid-response protocol when a raid unfolds in real time. How steady community ties create real safety and resilience. Listen if: you're ready to transform anxious empathy into reflexive action and fortify your community against escalating state violence. Hit play, take notes, then share with three people — because in this fight, readiness is a collective responsibility. Special thanks to Def Sound for providing the theme for Interrupting Everything.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Where do we go from here? To learn more about what you heard on the podcast today, visit nikkiblak.com.
