This Halloween, I am participating in the 5K for Justice in support of two organizations: CAIR Coalition and UndocuBlack Network!

Although Black immigrants comprise just 5.4% of the undocumented population in the United States, Black immigrants make up more than 20% of people in detention facing deportation on criminal grounds. UndocuBlack Network works outside of detention, pushing back against the policies that result in the over-policing of Black immigrant communities and creating networks of support among undocumented Black communities. CAIR Coalition works in detention, providing legal & social services to adults and children in ICE/ORR custody and pushing for sweeping policy change.

I am very excited to be participating in the #5KforJustice in support of two organizations doing such great work. It would mean the world to me if you would contribute in my name, or even sign up to run yourself! No matter the amount, your contribution will make an impact in our ongoing fight for a more equitable, safe, and just world.
