New York Anarchist Group Hangs Anti-Trump Signs on Long Island, Brooklyn
The signs were hung on the Meadowbrook Parkway, the Northern State Parkway and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway.

A New York City anarchist group partnered with a Long Island organization against immigration enforcement to hang anti-Trump signs in the area.
The two groups, NYC Anarchist Action and ICE Resisters of Long Island, hung the sings on the Meadowbrook Parkway, the Northern State Parkway and the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway on Tuesday. They read "Racists Exit Here" with arrows pointing to nearby parkway exits. Beneath that is written, "estamos en todas partes," which is Spanish for "we are everywhere."
"We reject the violence of systematically ripping families and friends apart and we reject the rise of hate attacks by bigots in the street," the group wrote on the website www.itsgoingdown.org, where it announced the "banner drop." "We reject the calls for a false unity with his supporters, the police, la migra, and the KKK, who endorsed his presidency. We say to racists institutionalized in the fold of a fascist state and those acting on rogue ambitions: you will not prevail."

La migra is slang for Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. It is Spanish for "immigration."
"These are our calls to action and a resolution of our refusal to live in fear," the groups wrote. "We are determined to build both underground and public networks of resistance. With this message, we call on all revolutionaries to commit themselves to this work. Solidarity means confronting the normalization of repression against our friends, partners, families, and selves."
