Over the weekend we honored Alex Pretti and Renée Good and the grief their loved ones carry. In times like this, we cannot look away from each other. We keep each other safe. We speak up. We stay vigilant. That’s what community must mean right now.

Austin is a city that shows up. This weekend, as people respond to ICE, there are many ways to participate. Protest. Strike. Hold vigil. Support organizers. Take care of your community. Our strength has always been in our people and in the many ways we stand together.
