The Power of Community

Alabama has seen a dramatic rise in ICE enforcement in our communities. The popular narrative is that ICE is only going after “criminals” (which itself is a dog whistle we know is applied inconsistently based on people's race, class, and presentation) – but the reality is that people being taken are workers, parents and caregivers, neighbors and community members. ICE is not making our communities safer – certainly not for immigrants, and not for anyone else either.  What they are doing is tearing apart families, and making entire communities live in paralyzing fear.

Every day, families in Alabama face the devastating impact of ICE detentions. Parents are taken suddenly, often without due process, leaving children and spouses without support or income. The Alabama Rapid Response Mutual Aid Fund exists to meet these urgent needs—covering legal representation, emergency travel, childcare, and other essentials.

By giving to the Alabama Rapid Response Mutual Aid Fund, you can help ensure that families facing sudden ICE detentions have the resources they need to fight for their rights and stay together.
