Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. In the spirit of Dr. King, we must respond to ICE's tyranny with peaceful, mass civil disobedience across America. I stand with the people of Minnesota and other cities across the country who are doing that today.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

A message to S.F. Mayor Lurie: The demise of California College of the Arts is nothing to celebrate
OPINION: What made Daniel Lurie’s announcement so tone-deaf was that it revealed how little he knows about art and culture and how deeply ingrained the college was in the fabric of the city.
