The Epstein files are horrific, and they reveal just how many victims have been living in fear for years. The abuse carried out and protected by powerful elites and government officials must be fully investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable.

ICE is an environmental issue. ICE is a public health issue. ICE is a disability issue. ICE is a LGBTQ+ issue. ICE is a children rights issue. ICE is a women’s rights isssue. ICE is violating all our rights. We need everyone to recognize that we are in this fight together.

ICE raids are a climate issue.
I don’t want to hear you talk about carbon emissions when my people are being ripped apart from their communities. People are the environment.

Why ICE Raids Are A Climate Issue It is time that the dominant environmental movement begin to make the interconnections between immigration, border & surveillance, and looking at immigrants as bodies of ecology than economic outputs.

Absolutely! I’ve written about how ICE Raids & violence from the immigration industrial complex are destroying gender and racial minorities across US and other countries.
