Renee Nicole Good should be alive today, and we are grieving her loss. She was a mother in Minneapolis whose life was taken by an ICE officer just blocks from where she lived, a parent to her six-year-old, a wife, a poet, and someone known for her kindness. [1] In the aftermath of this violence, small details carry enormous weight. The sight of toys inside her glove compartment tells a painful truth about the life she was nurturing and the family she was protecting. Our hearts are with her family, especially her child, who should never have had to carry this grief. Enough is enough. Tell...

Today marks 18 years since I immigrated to the United States. Eighteen years of building a life, raising my children, and contributing to a country that welcomed me. But if I were arriving today, I don't know if I’d feel that same safety and warmth. What I’ve seen in recent months has shaken me deeply. Families like mine—immigrant families, parents, workers—are being targeted, detained without warning, and deported without due process. [1] This is a direct violation of the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution [2], which guarantees due process of law to all people in the United States—...

My six-year-old - SIX YEARS OLD - is scared that ICE agents will come in and take her friends away. Kids shouldn’t have to worry that the government is going to come in and take them or their friends away. Kids...

Many families chose to stay home, terrified that ICE would show up and tear them apart. Every parent wants their children to be able to worship, go to school, and get medical care safely. But right now, Trump and his MAGA Republican supporters are spreading fear and sowing division based on what we look like or where we come from to hand billionaires like Elon Musk and corporations the wealth our work creates. Speak out to protect all...
