We’re closing our AHA offices tomorrow because we refuse to normalize federal agents killing people and calling it enforcement.
Silence is compliance. Business as usual is the lie.

Shirley Raines believed in dignity first.
She saw people beyond their circumstances. She never pretended that one person’s compassion should replace what our government owes its people.
Our hearts are with her loved ones and with the countless lives she touched.

As Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos reminds us, silence enables atrocity.

When despair feels loud, it helps to remember how much power we still carry.
Not in grand gestures, but in the choices we make every day.

Martin Luther King Jr. asked: “What are you doing for others?”
In his lifetime, he was surveilled, criticized, and opposed for demanding racial justice and collective responsibility.
His legacy reminds us that justice is a shared responsibility.
