Before you go out tonight, please review our Know-Your-Rights information. This is essential for all people of color, because they are increasingly detaining citizens, too.

ICE has refused pleas to allow families to enjoy this holiday in peace. In fact, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem (talk about scary!! 🎃 ☠️) has said they are doubling down, and will be out in full force.

This is a grave loss for the world. A Black Panther Party member and fighter for the Black Liberation Army. A true revolutionary who reminds us to continue our fight for freedom until everyone is free.
