We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

There are going to be people who could use whatever help you are able to provide, especially if you are in the Southwest US.

Immigration status is irrelevant

Whether someone is a natural-born US citizen, a naturalized US citizen, a non-citizen with legal status, or an undocumented non-citizen, these arrest and deportation efforts are going to scoop up people who don't "look" right, and who are not immediately able to prove citizenship to someone who is probably not at all trained to recognize whether someone is a citizen or not.

What you can do

Make a space in your home for guests. Make sure that you have proof of citizenship or legal status (a passport is best). Help people you know to do the same. Build a little support network, be observant, be patient.
