#rasbaraka

Newark Mayor #RasBaraka was arrested while peacefully protesting outside an #ICE facility — standing in solidarity with immigrants detained in inhumane conditions. When elected officials peacefully put their bodies on the line for justice, they demonstrate the sacrificial power of nonviolent resistance. This moment demands moral courage. It demands public servants who serve the people, not power. Mayor Ras Baraka got into ”good trouble” and is standing up for the people of his city.
