Over the weekend, anti-ICE protests sparked nationwide in response to the agency’s increasing violence against communities, including the killings of Renee Good and Keith Porter by ICE agents in the last two weeks. In times like these, the fight falls to frontline responders—those who work to preserve or progress the civil liberties and freedoms many may take for granted. And that fight weighs on us, wears us down.
But there are ways that we can build resilience while also making space to breathe, to take a moment of reprieve. The work of protecting communities requires more than courage—it demands sustainable infrastructure, resources that acknowledge the full humanity of those on the frontlines, and a commitment to collective care that goes beyond crisis response. In this installment of Resourcing the Field, we’re sharing articles that address how we resource not just the work, but the people doing it.
In solidarity,
