One Bear at a Time

A small handmade bear can calm a frightened child—and soften a moment filled with fear. At ICE field offices, volunteers are offering comfort and solidarity through simple acts of care, stitched together one bear at a time.

Love in Public: Hospitality as Resistance

Casa Alterna’s radical hospitality transforms lives and shows love in public as resistance.

In the Midst of Fear, We Choose Compassion

Every weekday morning, volunteers with Casa Alterna’s Compassionate Compas offer presence, solidarity, and hope outside the Atlanta Immigration Court and ICE field office, bearing witness to the stories of those navigating a broken system and reminding them they are not alone.
