Statement of Solidarity With Minnesota and Elsewhere

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
–Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

We stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and all over the nation who are rising up for compassion, justice, due process, and human rights. We affirm the courage and resilience of these brave, peaceful protesters and those attempting to protect their neighbors despite the terror that has been unleashed and the public executions carried out in broad daylight including those of Renee Nicole Good, Alex Pretti, Keith Porter, Josué Castro Rivera, and Silverio Villegas González. The administration continues to deny fair and full investigations into these heinous acts of violence.

We mourn all the lives lost to ICE violence—including those in detention prisons—and pray for strength for their families and communities. We unequivocally support immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, many of whom have escaped persecution in their nations and denounce the racial profiling of our neighbors and Indigenous communities. To strike terror in the hearts of people, separate families, children, those who are ill, vulnerable or elderly, to target people’s places of work or schools, restaurants, and court hearings is truly horrifying and is inconsistent with American values. This form of militarization endangers rather than protects people and their safety. It is authoritarian and attacks the Constitutional systems of democracy and due process. It risks peoples’ health, families, livelihoods and dehumanizes them. Above all, these actions do not make our communities safer.

Therefore, we call upon our elected officials to oppose ICE funding, investigate the recent killings, bring an immediate stop to the terror unfolding in all our communities, and uphold the rule of law.

Our diversity is our strength. Together, we work to foster a diverse, multi-cultural community that embodies a liberated, inclusive and peaceful future, rooted in mutual respect, dignity and love. We, the undersigned organizations, remain committed to working to ensure that our neighborhoods here in the San Ramon Valley and beyond remain safe and peaceful.
