Pauline came to the U.S. as a child. While detained by ICE in 2017, she was subjected to a nonconsensual gynecological procedure. Today, she is again in ICE custody.

We are amplifying the call for Pauline's immediate release and her reunification with her family.

Pride emerged from rebellion. That struggle continues today: especially for queer and trans immigrants, Black and Brown communities, and those most targeted by systems of surveillance and punishment.

We never needed corporate approval for our liberation. Happy Pride!

We honor the life and legacy of Assata Shakur and the sacrifices she made in the pursuit of freedom. In a time when communities continue to face criminalization, surveillance, and state violence, her example remains as relevant as ever.

We carry that legacy forward.

Malcolm X understood that “othering” is not just rhetoric: it becomes policy, violence, exclusion, surveillance, deportation, censorship, and fear.

He reminds us that loving ourselves and our communities means believing we are worthy of safety, dignity, protection, and freedom.

This Earth Day, we reject the idea that extraction is progress. The future cannot be built by draining the earth.

Data centers consume water, energy, and land. The burden falls hardest on Black, Brown, immigrant, and working-class communities.

Protecting the planet means protecting people.

Legalization is not the same as justice. We can’t celebrate until everyone’s free.

Cannabis laws have changed, but many people remain incarcerated under outdated policies. Others still face surveillance, barriers to opportunity, detention, and deportation.

HBD to Dolores Huerta.

Her legacy is a reminder that every person holds power, and every action can move us closer to justice.

At a time when immigrants are increasingly targeted by crimmigration, that lesson is more urgent than ever.

Trans communities are under direct attack by the state right now.

On Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate trans lives; including trans immigrants navigating systems that criminalize them again and again.

South Bay House of Correction has a long history of violence and neglect. Between 2021 and 2023, seven people died in Sheriff’s custody. In December 2025, Shacoby “Coby” Kenny became the eighth.

This is not an isolated incident. Join to demand change.

Dr. King warned that America’s scientific progress was outpacing its moral progress.
Today, his words still ring true.

This MLK Day, we honor his call to recognize the dignity of every person — and to measure security not by force, but by love, justice, and care for one another.
