To the immigrants, refugees, and families feeling fear rise again

We see you.

We feel the weight in your breath.

And we want you to know this:

🤎 You are not alone. 🤎

The threat of being sent to foreign prisons, stripped of dignity, or treated like a problem to be solved instead of a human being to be loved—

It is heartbreaking. It is wrong.

And yes—it is terrifying.

But please don’t let it make you disappear.

Don’t let it silence the sacred fire of who you are.

You are part of the living, breathing soul of this country.

Your roots, your stories, your dreams—they matter here.

They always have.

Now more than ever, we must move closer to each other, not further apart.

We must stay unified—not just in protest, but in love.

Let us:

✊🏽 Stand together in peaceful resistance—in the streets, in the town halls, at the polls

✊🏽 Track the bills being passed—call your representatives, remind them who they serve

✊🏽 Raise our voices in meetings, in communities, in sacred gatherings

✊🏽 Hold each other in safety—especially when the world forgets to

Because this—our togetherness, our fierce compassion, our quiet courage—is what will carry us through.

Not hatred. Not fear.

But the love that flows between us when we remember we are family—every color, every story, every prayer.

To those feeling afraid: your fear is valid.

But you are powerful in your existence.

You are not a burden.

You are a blessing.

And to the rest of us:

Now is not the time to look away.

Now is the time to show up—for our neighbors, for justice, for love.

Let’s be loud in kindness.

Let’s be bold in protection.

Let’s be unshakable in unity.

The future belongs to those brave enough to build it together.
