For whatever reason, the full force of the federal government has been unjustly focused on our communities and immigrant neighbors these last few months. Even in the wake of yesterday’s deadly tragedy, it doesn’t seem like it will lessen anytime soon. Last night, thousands gathered at the site where Renee was killed, and it was indicative of how powerful and comforting community can be. There will be more opportunities to gather, mourn, raise our voices, and peacefully protest - when doing so I encourage you to stay safe and know your rights. Below are resources to familiarize yourself with, as well as connections to community organizations that are providing important training opportunities. Our city is no stranger to challenging times. I wish that wasn’t the case, but I do know we get through times like these by looking out for one another. I’ve seen neighbors help each other time and again, and I know in the days ahead I will see the same. Please do not hesitate to reach out with concerns or questions.
