The Epstein files are horrific, and they reveal just how many victims have been living in fear for years. The abuse carried out and protected by powerful elites and government officials must be fully investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable.

ICE is an environmental issue. ICE is a public health issue. ICE is a disability issue. ICE is a LGBTQ+ issue. ICE is a children rights issue. ICE is a women’s rights isssue. ICE is violating all our rights. We need everyone to recognize that we are in this fight together.
