Orlando comic and musician Larry Fulford and friends are hosting an Anything but ICE Job Fair<\/a> on Friday, March 27, outside the ICE office on Delegates Drive in Orlando.<\/p>\n Fulford tells Orlando Weekly that the job fair is a rebuke to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents\u2019 presence in Central Orlando. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a protest, essentially,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cBut with a purpose, and that\u2019s to let employees at ICE know that there are other jobs available.\u201d<\/p>\n Fulford has been involved in a couple of previous protests outside the ICE field office over the last few months, but Anything but ICE breaks the mold of previous protests.<\/p>\n Fulford believes the typical protest format could perhaps be more impactful if it had a clear purpose. \u201cWe eventually were like, \u2018Instead of just coming and shouting and just having, you know, random signs, what if there was a focus?\u2019\u201d Fulford recalls.<\/p>\n The signs and messaging that will be used at Anything but ICE are driving the event\u2019s very singular purpose. \u201cI\u2019ve only been [protesting] outside the building twice, like once a month the last two months, this time, it\u2019ll differ in the signage that we\u2019re hoping that people bring and that we\u2019ve even made,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cIt\u2019s all career change and job-oriented.\u201d<\/p>\n The concept of blending a job fair and a protest is a novel one, and Fulford emphasizes that being affiliated with ICE is truly a choice for folks in our community. \u201cThey don\u2019t have to be ICE agents or work for them at all,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cThere are other jobs in the Orlando area that are available.\u201d<\/p>\n While Anything but ICE takes a comedic approach to traditional protests, it also carries a heavy layer of sincerity. \u201cWe made these flyers for the event, to get the word out. I also mailed those same flyers to the ICE office to let them know we\u2019ll be outside on such and such a day, if you\u2019re earnestly interested in a career change,\u201d explains Fulford.<\/p>\n The flyers depict typical attributes of an ICE agent and apply those skills to other jobs, including miming, laser-tag management and beekeeping. \u201cIt\u2019s like, \u2018Oh, you like covering your face? Maybe be a beekeeper\u2019 or whatever,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cAnd really, that was just a form of \u2018if it\u2019s cutesy and witty, maybe more people look at it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Beyond the tongue-in-cheek nature of the flyers, there will be a compiled list of real Orlando-based jobs and people offering help with r\u00e9sum\u00e9 updates at the protest.<\/p>\n \u201cI have a list of like dozens, if not hundreds, at this point, of local jobs in the area, that I will just read,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cThere\u2019s people there that have experience in HR, so like, and I 100% doubt this, but if somebody did come out and they\u2019re like, \u2018Hey, you know, I kind of need help updating my r\u00e9sum\u00e9,\u2019 there are people who can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n The Anything but ICE approach also aims to make protesting more accessible to folks who have perhaps been too intimidated to do so. \u201cIf you\u2019re just making a flyer, that\u2019s, like, \u2018Protest City Hall,\u2019 that\u2019s kind of intimidating, and people might be like, \u2018yuck,\u2019\u201d Fulford says. \u201cBut, if you come at it with a humorous angle, they might be like, \u2018OK, these seem like OK people. We can help out with this.\u201d<\/p>\n Fulford \u2014 who is a writer, comedian and creator of interactive comedy experience What Do You Want From Us?! \u2014 got interested in politics \u201csuper accidentally,\u201d through a comedian friend, Cliff Cash. Fulford expressed that he felt the need to get involved, but wasn\u2019t sure how to make an impact. A web of connections led him to dream up Anything but ICE.<\/p>\n Fulford now urges those in a similar position just to go out and try. \u201cSome people are like, \u2018Do you really think that doing something will do anything?\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018No, but I know that not doing anything will do nothing,\u2019\u201d Fulford says.<\/p>\n He is hopeful that the Central Florida community will be impacted by the sight of Anything but ICE as they complete their afternoon commutes. \u201c[People will be] looking out the window, they\u2019re driving their cars past us, and they\u2019re seeing Americans who completely disagree with how ICE has turned,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cIt\u2019s taken a turn for the absolute atrocious. I hope it kind of wakes up the community more.\u201d<\/p>\n He urges Orlando to stand its ground against ICE involvement. \u201cAs an Orlando resident, it\u2019s like, have a presence,\u201d Fulford says. \u201cThese [agents] have a presence. These guys have a presence in cities all over the country at this point. We also need to make our presence known.\u201d<\/p>\n Anything but ICE takes place from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, March 27, outside the ICE building at 9495 Delegates Drive<\/a>.<\/p>\n Orlando\u2019s daily dose of what matters.
