We can be proactive and protect our neighbors.
John, ICE is terrorizing our communities and it’s okay not to feel okay. As the Chicana daughter of immigrants who watched my dad get deported when I was just a teen, this hits close to home.
Despite feeling overwhelmed and saddened, I know it’s important for me and my community to be proactive to protect our neighbors.
Yesterday, ICE agents were seen in multiple neighborhoods in Northeast LA including Cypress, Glassell Park, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Lincoln Heights and El Sereno.
In the midst of this kind of violence and abductions, I’m so proud of my community for stepping up to protect each other. These rapid response networks and notification systems are how we can take care of our neighbors.
One thing is clear: ICE isn’t slowing down. They’re going to continue to abduct, abuse, and even murder people.
Our community can’t do this alone, we need leaders who will hold the line and fight back with us against this inhumanity. That includes leaders in Congress.
These acts of violence are a threat to all of our homes, families, and communities. As a Chicana woman who was directly affected by my father’s deportation, let me fight for you. Please, donate anything you can right now to send me to Congress.
