How To Not Lose Your Sh!t
Moms For Good: Joining Together to Stop ICE
Last night, Red Wine & Blue held a virtual event we called Moms for Good where our community got together to process and grieve for Renee Good, who was killed in Minneapolis last week by a member of ICE.
We talked about how it’s okay to feel all the feelings – sadness, fear, anger, overwhelm – but we also talked about how fear is being used to silence us. As moms, neighbors, and friends, we have to stay in the fight.
Tomorrow on the pod, we’ll be joined by two suburban moms in Chicago who were arrested for protesting ICE last year. Nikki and Sarah were among our guests at last night’s event and you’ll get to hear their story in more detail tomorrow.
