As government violence against our communities continues to escalate, together, we will continue to protect our rights and the rights of our neighbors.

Here are a few things you can do TODAY:

1. Read our Know Your Rights Resources and get started preparing yourself, your workplace, and your clients: https://www.naswoh.org/PracticeGuidance. There are even links to resources about building neighborhood ICE watch networks.

2. Who is supporting immigrants in your area? Find out who, and how you can support them. Ohio Immigrant Alliance is a great place to start - https://ohioimmigrant.org/. Donate if you are able.

3. The U.S. Senate is considering a spending package that ties routine government funding to expanded immigration enforcement and ICE funding.
📲Call your U.S. Senators today
Tell them clearly: No ICE funding in the spending package.
Senator Jon Husted; DC: (202) 224-3353
Senator Bernie Moreno; DC: (202) 224-2315

4. Go to https://www.standwithminnesota.com/, read the stories of those on the ground, and support them as they support each other.

On this day to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we honor the radical, courageous legacy of Dr. King, not a sanitized version of history, but one rooted in bold action against injustice. Dr. King understood that systems causing harm must be challenged, even when doing so is uncomfortable or dangerous. Today, that means speaking out and taking action against ICE and a government that is inflicting violence on communities. Justice requires courage. Silence is not neutrality. As social workers, we are called to act.
