El amor cruza fronteras / Love crosses borders
At the gates of ICE, where compliance is promised safety, faithfulness is increasingly transformed into a mechanism of surveillance, profit, and quiet cruelty—and the question before us is how we will resist without losing our humanity.
"Hope is not a mood or an idea—it is a practice. In the face of injustice and fear, we sustain hope through solidarity, courage, and small acts of care that bind us together."
In the shadow of Atlanta’s ICE field office, heartbreak and hope meet. Through quiet acts of compassion, Casa Alterna volunteers remind us that love—especially in the face of cruelty—is a sacred form of resistance.
This crossroad in history is our Shiphrah and Puah moment—now is the time for our faith and love to rise up against fearmongers. If Shiphrah and Puah could resist oppression and inspire others, we too can act with great love and do likewise in this moment.
