Rush-hour Resistance Rally @ ICE Field office on Central & Holly

**Join us for our Thursday rallies across from the ICE Field Office on Central & Holly in Central Phoenix)!** *Rush-hour Resistance Rallies happen every Monday–Friday during rush hour across the Phoenix metro area. Check out [RhRR.us](https://rhrr.us) for the latest locations!* Here are the particulars for this rally: 🕥 You are free to show up anytime, but we recommend arriving a few minutes early to introduce yourself. Our morning rally starts at 7:30 and ends promptly at 8:30 AM. Our afternoon rally starts at 4:30 and ends promptly at 6:00 PM. 🅿️ Parking is a bit of a challenge. Some of us park on Holly St, directly across from the ICE Field Office. We haven’t had issues before, but parking enforcement is unpredictable. If concerned, take the light rail. 🔥🧊 We gather on the WEST side of Central, just north of Holly. Please DO NOT protest on the east side. Immigrants have appointments in this building, and we don't want to prohibit them from what they are required to do. 🖌️ One of RhRR’s strengths is that people feel free to express themselves. Ideally, your signs would help articulate any of our three pillars: * Defending democracy and the rule of law * Encouraging voting * Protecting neighbors and communities (e.g., immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, workers, and veterans) This approach keeps signs aligned with RhRR’s purpose, while preserving personal expression and emotional authenticity. **For this location, try to make your messaging specific to immigration rights, human rights, and other anti-ICE slogans.** 🇺🇳 Flags, banners, and even inflatable costumes are welcome. Some blow lots of bubbles. While our mission is serious, humor and camaraderie matter. 😷 RhRRs are peaceful, public events. Most attendees don’t hide their faces, though some do; participate at your comfort level. Photos and videos are common on social media, but you can ask posters to remove accidental appearances. Thanks in advance for joining us. See you on the streets! ✊ **More about RhRR and why we do what we do every day of the week:** 📣 Rush Hour Resistance Rally began with a clear idea: neighbors, gathering peacefully and regularly on busy nearby streets, could remind our communities that democracy is essential and that silence is unacceptable. Over the last year, RhRR expanded from a handful of participants to multiple locations across the Valley, reaching thousands of pedestrians and motorists each week. This momentum is significant, as is the duty it brings. 🗳️ As we approach the midterm elections, our united mission is to safeguard free and fair elections and promote civic participation, particularly in local and primary races where every vote carries weight. Our weekly rallies are more than outlets for frustration; they are consistent, visible commitments that normalize voting and democratic engagement as neighborly expectations. 🕊️ RhRR is a peaceful, nonconfrontational movement. Our goal is to reach the broader community, not to confront those seeking conflict. When tensions surface, we withdraw, stay composed, and look out for one another. This discipline keeps our rallies inviting and helps newcomers feel secure joining us. 🫂 Most of all, RhRR is about people caring for one another while standing up for the future of our democracy. Every person who shows up, every sign held, and every conversation sparked on a street corner is part of something larger and deeply hopeful. More info at [RhRR.us](https://rhrr.us).
