Mark The Spot - LA
Mark The Spot is grounded in the belief that democracy depends on an informed public and neighbors who protect one another. We believe memory is a form of resistance, visibility is a civic duty, and silence in the face of harm is never neutral.
Request A Sign
Request a (free) Mark The Spot sign to visibly document where ICE has abducted members of your community. Each sign helps raise awareness, preserve collective memory, and resist the normalization of state violence.
Volunteer
Help distribute signs, support local coordination, document sites, or assist with outreach and trainings. No matter your capacity, your participation helps build a visible, people-powered movement in your community.
Local Regulations
Mark The Spot signs are protected under the First Amendment as political speech.
