We honor Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the recent victims of the deadly, supposedly immigrant focused killings of two American citizens by the United States Department of Homeland Security and Immigration Customs Enforcement, better known as DHS and ICE. We'll also provide some context into these tragic and disorienting killings of our neighbors in Minneapolis and affirm that they are the result of White Supremacist and Fascist policies of our nation that in some ways are as “American as Apple Pie”.
We include In Memoriams by Sylvan Robinson remembering Renee Nicole Macklin Good and Alex Pretti, who were killed in separate incidents only two weeks apart. GAG members and activists Cathy Marino Thomas and Josh Tjaden give us commentary on the hard hitting intersectionality of these deaths with our experience.
We share an uplifting Interview with JP Thomas, organizing Director of Brady expanding on Brady’s talking points on ICE deployment and tactics in our nation.
Ti Cersley, GAG Vice President shares our January Press conference as Gays Against Guns celebrates ten years of fighting for LGBTQ Rights and working to end gun violence against LGBTQ people and all those in marginalized communities.
