Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.

Come join us next week and make your voice heard!

Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Trump forced out more than 8,000 Social Security staffers and is trying to claim it's working better than ever. So I talked with folks outside the Social Security office in Seattle, and guess what? Trump's lying.

Holding this maternal healthcare event alongside Harris was a smart move by El-Sayed, and a necessary one. He needs to strengthen Black support in Michigan. The divisions of the 2024 uncommitted movement were real, and Black voters haven’t forgotten how ugly that election became. #HealthcareForAll

Hey Pete Hegseth, you incompetent religious extremist: Maybe you should have "Rapid Responses" to Iran instead of memes on social media. And, more important, follow the Constitution for a change and keep our government out of promoting your crazy version of your particular faith.

Trump—the billionaire who thinks we can’t afford child care but who thinks we can always find money for war and billionaire tax cuts—is trying to rip the heart out of Head Start. How about no more endless wars? No tax cuts for billionaires. Fund Head Start instead.

It's been more than a decade since we started being bombarded with the orange menace's vile vitriol. Although there was a slight respite while Biden was in office, the orange pedo and his cult were still spreading hate in the background. I'm beyond ready for this shit to be over.

Black text on white page that reads:

More than two centuries ago, Father Hidalgo y Costilla’s church bell gave way to the cry of a people known as El Grito de Dolores — a call for freedom that would begin Mexico’s long struggle for independence. 

Today, that same spirit of self-determination lives in Mexican New Yorkers who have helped build this city for generations — from the zapateros of Corona to the banda musicians of Sunset Park. 

As we celebrate an independent Mexico, we also celebrate the Mexican New Yorkers who make our city great. And we recommit ourselves to defending their dignity and right to belong.

In moments of uncertainty and cruelty, New York City does not leave its own behind.

¡Viva México!
