A Message from Amigos De Guadalupe
The organization that manages Casitas de Esepranza (And multiple other housing faciliteis) has a new newsletter - A Summer of Solidarity newsletter. We wanted to share an excerpt from this week's message:
To us, solidarity means that justice isn’t really justice unless it is shared.
What is happening to our brothers and sisters in Los Angeles is troubling. As they stand with their community, we’re reminded of how vital it is that we do the same. Now is not the time to remain silent. Our country was built on the rights written into our Constitution and those rights must be protected.
The choice is clear. At Amigos de Guadalupe, we choose to stand up, not stand aside.
We stand with courage, compassion and community.
We stand with those who rise before dawn to work in the fields, kitchens, and construction sites, braving elements to feed and build our communities.
We stand with those who, despite the odds, rise to lead in classrooms, boardrooms, and civic life, serving all members of our communities.
We stand with allies who use their privilege to open doors and amplify voices.
Together, we are the people, and every person deserves dignity, safety, respect, and the opportunity to live in freedom.
In this moment of challenge, Summer of Solidarity is our declaration: We will not be divided. We will not forget our humanity.
Together, with our hands, our votes, our stories, our unity, and our LOVE, we will build something better…
Always, Si Se Puede.
In Solidarity,
The Amigos de Guadalupe Team
