call to action

Hello everyone. This is not a normal post for my blog, but I am a proud LA native and resident, and ICE has been coming into our neighborhoods and communities ripping families apart, detaining people, and working against any rights people have to their own personhood and freedom. This is horrific and I cannot sit back and let my community be harmed in this way. I have included the GoFundMe links to people and families that need your help. By donating to the respective GoFundMe links, it will help these families reunite with their detained loved ones allowing them the money needed to access immigration lawyers and other folks who can help them out with these legal processes. I urge you to donate if you can, and if there is someone you know personally who is being affected, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at raawdata@gmail.com and I will share their links under this post. I also urge you to call your local representatives and ask them to end their contracts with the ICE agency. Abolish ICE. Thank you for reading. All power to the people.
