At Everett High, sophomore Sienna Kaplan has taken an artistic approach to the national ICE protests by making 100 DIY anti-ICE pins and giving them to students and staff who want them for free.
“One pin probably took me around 20 minutes, but I made them in bulk, Kaplan said. “And I made 100 exactly, and it took over two days of work.”
Kaplan has posted all her progress on Instagram, and often shares posts to show her disapproval for ICE.
Across the country, people of all ages from many cities have come together to protest against a common enemy. These protests come in many shapes and forms, such as marching through the streets, walking out of schools and jobs, and expressing their disapproval of ICE as well as the Trump administration online and to their local governments.
“I’ve seen the way Boston’s handling [ICE]. I’m very happy with how Boston’s handling it, which is good, because I don’t want our government, even if they’re Democrat, to sit back and watch this happen to American citizens, and people that are immigrants,” Kaplan said.
Kaplan suggests that fellow students can also safely protest by participating in walkouts, and displaying an item such as a pin that represents their disapproval for ICE.
