The Stop ICE Raids Alert Network let’s you send and receive mobile alerts about nearby ICE activity whenever, and wherever it occurs.
No downloadable app required. StopICE works with technology already built into your phone. Send and receive mobile alerts via text message, or at stopice.net from any mobile device with a tap of a button.
I’ve been wanting to sign up just in case there are some around me that need assistance with people blocking ice, but I don’t want to give my number and have been thinking of getting a burner.
send and receive mobile alerts via text message
I hope this database of phone numbers, and all programs that connect to it, are secure.
(Not that text messages are even secure, but a database is much easier to extract a complete list from.)
A dumb question.
What is ICE?
It’s not a dumb question. Asking questions to gain knowledge is a good thing. Here you go.

I’m not white and live in a red area, would love to sign up but also concerned it puts me on a list.
My experience, I have never received a single alert send to me. Seems broke. On my end. Always have to look at the website.
For those on iPhone and at any risk, ICEBlock app is potentially better, as it maintains more privacy.
The reason they don’t do android:
At ICEBlock, user privacy and security are paramount. Our application is designed to provide as much anonymity as possible without storing any user data or creating accounts. While we understand the desire for an Android version of ICEBlock, achieving this level of anonymity on Android is not feasible due to the inherent requirements of push notification services.
Keep in mind their claims about Android have been clearly refuted and their claims in general are dubious.

Given this, they’re either dangerously ignorant or intentionally malicious.
i don’t trust IceBlock. they don’t allow you to use the app at all without sharing your live location. it’s true iOS has better security and privacy, but whatever information any app collects from its users (like location data) will be sent to their own servers and cannot be confirmed by apple what they do with that data you willfully provided them
And these claims are largely BS…
Especially given that they can implement notifications, and bypass this system they are concerned about
