Denisse Takes

If I'm unable to secure funding for Whistle Kits I'll still continue 3d printing whistles for Chicago Whistle Links. Local whistle kit drops might be limited based on what I can personally afford on a monthly basis.

Thank you to all who have contributed so far! <3 Hopefully we can keep this going.

Supply box for Whistle Kit prep donated to El Nido Family Center today. This is the last supply box for quite awhile due to lack of funding.

2,420 whistles and kits donated as of 3/6

Everything else I have is going to 50501 for the #NoKings3 protest. #AbolishICE

Kidney transplant recipient is back home in Minnesota after two weeks in ICE custody A kidney transplant recipient who had been in ICE custody in Texas for two weeks without access to many of his life-saving medications finally returned home in Minnesota Thursday night.

After Javier Abreu-Vasquez was released from the ICE detention center in El Paso Wednesday, two Minnesota nonprofits worked to coordinate Abreu-Vasquez’s stay at Annunciation House, a local El Paso nonprofit.

How to Volunteer - Become a delivery driver - Scout local shops and nonprofits to find who would be willing to distribute kits. - Shopowners only: provide a location to host packing events and/or pick up and drop off supplies. - Make Whistle Kits on your own or by attending a packing event. - Donate supplies. - Donate funds or materials and postage. - If you have a 3D printer, consider joining Chicago Whistle Links. You can find information on how to make whistle kits on my Google Drive. Info link in bio.

If you're in Los Angeles and you'd like to volunteer e-mail me at denissetakes@me.com. beacons.ai/denissetakes...

Two volunteers picked up supplies to make Whistle Kits. One will be distributing in Koreatown. The other is supplying The Ripped Bodice 'Monsters Against Ice' event benefiting @chirla-org.bsky.social.

Tansy put together a casual event with the box I donated yesterday. I stopped by and hung out for a bit. It's so funny, when I arrived I saw someone diligently packing so many whistle kits and initially I thought he worked for Tansy. Turns out he was a passionate volunteer. So happy to see that!

Dropped Volunteer Boxes to Greenwood & Elise in Studio City yesterday. I created these boxes to encourage shop owners to throw Whistle Packing Parties. They have everything needed to get one started. #AbolishICE #ICEOut

Trump will never win. My people are passionate, courageous, multicultural, multiracial, beautiful, hardworking, joyous and powerful. We will persevere. We are proud of who we are and where we come from. He will NEVER take that away from us.

Gracias Benito for showing the world who we are.

Whistle Packing Party this Sunday at Tansy!

Much love to everyone who is still listening to my music. I see you and I appreciate you so very much. ❤️

I'll eventually find time to write songs and sing again. Writing songs about what's happening is not enough. Funding those releases feels like a waste when that money can be diverted to something that can have a bigger impact.

Happy to collab but my solo projects will be pushed for later release.

LA County's Department of Mental Health, Service Area 6: A Place to Grow Clubhouse now has Whistle Kits. ❤️
