Belmont Cragin United organizes seven meetups on Tuesday evening to create safety whistles that alert residents about nearby immigration enforcement. The Whistlemania event occurs at local restaurants and shops in six neighborhoods, including Austin, Avondale, and Logan Square. Community members can join without prior registration and are encouraged to support local businesses by dining at the venues. Each assembled information packet will include a Know Your Rights guide, a whistle, and a community resource guide. Supporters can help by purchasing additional whistles from an Amazon Wishlist or donating via Venmo for printing costs.

This initiative aims to foster community safety and awareness regarding immigration issues. The inclusion of Know Your Rights materials highlights the importance of informing residents of their legal protections. Such community-driven efforts contribute to a broader movement advocating for immigrant rights and safety in Chicago.
