Organizing for love, dignity, and liberation

Massachusetts just passed the Protect Act. But the provision that would have kept ICE out of houses of worship was left out.

That means nothing in the law stops ICE from showing up at your Sunday service.

Churches, mosques, and synagogues have always been places of refuge. Sacred ground. And right now that ground is not protected.

Shout out to our federation MCAN who is keeping the pressure on with prayer vigils and community listening sessions across Massachusetts.

Faith in Action is calling on Governor Healey to act. Fund the training. Protect the people. And protect the places where they worship.

Sacred spaces must remain safe spaces

ICE is getting body cameras. Sounds like accountability. Read the fine print.

Their own policy says footage will only be released when it is in the — quote — “best interests of the agency.” Their director can block or delay any release indefinitely. Officers’ faces and badge numbers will be redacted.

Taxpayers are paying tens of millions for cameras the agency can legally keep secret.

That is not accountability. That is a PR strategy.

Faith in Action is demanding better.

Haitian TPS holders are being told to return to a country facing extreme violence, displacement, and a humanitarian crisis.

In this interview, Haitian TPS holder, activist, and Ohio resident Viles Dorsainvil explains why “going back” is not a simple option when access to food, clean water, medicine, and safety is not guaranteed.

This is not abstract policy. These are people’s lives, families, jobs, and futures.

Take action: Contact your U.S. senators and urge them to co-sponsor and pass S. 4814, legislation that would require DHS to extend and redesignate TPS for Haiti through 2029.

Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121, ask for your senators, and say:

“I’m calling to urge Senator [Name] to co-sponsor and support S. 4814 to extend Temporary Protected Status for Haiti through 2029.”

If you only know GEO Group from the headlines about Delaney Hall — know this. Delaney Hall is not the beginning. It is just the latest chapter.

GEO Group has spent decades profiting from confinement. Forced labor. Spoiled food. Poor medical care. Retaliation. Unsafe conditions. Lawsuits from detained immigrants paid as little as one dollar a day to clean the facilities holding them.

This was never just about immigration. It is about an incarceration system that has always stripped Black, Brown, poor, and marginalized people of their rights, dignity, and humanity. The same corporations that profited from jails and prisons are now making money from immigration detention centers.

Human beings should never be a business model.

The day we wake up, organize, and fight back together is the day we begin to defeat those who profit from our bodies.Share this. Follow for more. Keep the pressure on.

They are calling it election security. It is voter suppression.

The SAVE Act. Reconciliation 3.0. HR 7008. Different names. Same purpose. Making it harder for eligible Americans to vote.

Black voters. Naturalized citizens. Seniors. Students. Working people. Married women whose names have changed. These are the people being targeted.

The Senate must say no to all of it.

Call your Senator now. Number in bio. Tell them to vote NO on voter suppression.

Your vote is sacred. We are not letting them take it.

The government has refused to extend TPS for Haitians in this country. And the people who will feel it first are not who you might expect.

We are talking about the nurses, the home health aides, the caregivers who show up every day to take care of our seniors, our children, and our most vulnerable. Haitian workers make up a significant part of the healthcare and service workforce in this country. And they are about to be torn away from the people who depend on them.

Senior citizens. Children. Families who rely on in-home care. They will be left without the people who take care of them.

We want to hear your story.

If someone Haitian takes care of you or a loved one — a parent, a grandparent, a child — we want to know. Because the human cost of this decision needs to be heard.

Bishop Dwayne Royster of Faith in Action has a message for our communities.

Donald Trump is telling you that voting machines are not safe. That your vote will not count. That the system is broken.

Do not believe it.

Election officials across this country are warning that Trump’s claims are far more dangerous than any vulnerability he is pointing to. We have faced foreign interference before. We have stopped it before. And we will again.

The only election fraud happening right now is the attempt to scare you away from the polls.

So here is what Bishop Royster wants you to know. Your vote is sacred. Your vote is powerful. And that is exactly why they do not want you to cast it.

Get out and vote. Do not let fear win.

Faith in Action is watching. And we are not backing down.

In case you missed it — Shakira just performed at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for the FIFA World Cup. A celebration of mixed cultures, diverse backgrounds, and a song that said you are welcomed here. It was beautiful.

Twenty minutes down the road sits Delaney Hall. Where immigrants are being detained in conditions that have been described as inhumane.

Bishop Dwayne Royster of Faith in Action said it simply: we have got to do better.

The contradiction could not be more clear. We will celebrate your culture on a stage and detain you down the street.

Faith in Action is not looking away.
