I'm working with colleagues to offer free career support for those affected by federal firings, funding cuts, and hiring freezes. You can request a resume review or a 30-minute conversation at bit.ly/fedworkersup....

Our support is completely free. You will never be asked to pay for any services.

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.
