Join us for Powered By Love, Not Cages Community Call, where we'll write letters to our immigrant community in detention.
Together, we'll respond to the escalating ICE presence in our communities by extending care, love, and dignity to our immigrant neighbors in detention. In the face of fear and uncertainty, we’re choosing community, solidarity, and collective power.
On the call we’ll:

On Tuesday, Feb. 3. at 11:59 pm, 15,000 Haitian immigrants are set to lose their "Temporary Protected Status" in Springfield, Ohio (population 60,000). Local residents are preparing for a 30-day ICE surge - even though conditions in Haiti are more dangerous than ever, thousands of children could be separated from their parents, and the Haitian community has helped fuel the small town's economic comeback. We stood up for Springfield, Ohio, when JD Vance and Donald Trump lied about Haitians who live and work there during the 2024 campaign, and we're doing it again now. Join us to hear from local residents and legal experts, help raise funds for local groups providing direct support to Haitian families in Springfield, and take action, no matter where you live.
See you there! https://redwine-blue.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BgPz8QNES5y9Bws4PL3O1w
