Allison, thank you your honesty and reflective thoughts. I do share the same andi I question if I'm doing enough.
As you know I'm in Minneapolis. And though I do live in a nice area of the city my neighbors have told me of ICE agents being seen in the early hours of the morning around the neighboring schools and park.
We've attended a Monarca Raid Response session and recently heard a talk from the Executive Director of the Immigration Law Center. Both times I felt overwhelmed with hearing about horrible situations and the abuse of constitutional rights, right here, right now. But I learned you need to figure out what is the best way or two for you to help, and do it! You can't do everything. Just don't turn a blind eye and do nothing. I highly recommend looking at and supporting the ACLU.
Thank you so much Kim! I have been keeping you all in my thoughts. I agree, trying to do everything can lead to burnout. The ACLU is great and I donated to them yesterday, as well as signing some of their petitions. I encourage others to research and do what they can. Good for you on attending these events and getting involved!
Perhaps we can update the old saying to "actions speak louder than posts" ? <3
