Please take care of yourself, you are  not alone! 

A woman wearing a yellow hoodie sits in the woods with smoke dancing around her. She sits criss cross applesauce with a laptop in her lap. 

Unfortunately, much of what we are witnessing in our nation today—attacks on democratic norms, assaults on human dignity, and the targeting of marginalized communities—directly contradicts our new, commonly held UU religious values and the eight Principles 
that came before...

We have the opportunity...to end the fear and make our communities safe, not only for our immigrant families, but for ALL Marylanders. We MUST ban 287(g) Agreements. -Jim Caldiero, Lead Immigration Advocate, UULM-MD Learn more: www.uulmmd.org/post/giving-...
A drawing of the The Statue of Liberty in her bronze skin before it oxidized green,  her torch held high above a drawing of New York City circa 1900s  with schooners making their way up and down the Hudson River... 

In March 1933, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his polio-stricken legs strapped to heavy metal braces, stood on the steps of the Capitol and comforted a nation... He told the American people, one third of whom were ill-clad, ill-housed and ill-fed, that they had “nothing to fear but fear itself–nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror….”

Today, that fear is not nameless–it is named ICE and the terror that it has unleashed in our cities and neighborhoods, among our hardworking immigrant neighbors is not only unjustified but constitutionally questionable.

We have the opportunity...to end the fear and make our communities safe, not only for our immigrant families, but for ALL Marylanders.
We MUST ban 287(g) Agreements.

This legislative session, Maryland was faced with the largest budget challenge since the Great Recession and a new federal administration that threatens our economy. There is still work to do, but I want to thank our partners in the General Assembly for their hard work over these past 90 days.
