These are the cries of my brothers and my sisters, and they call me to act, speak, love. I’m reminded of the great Apostle of Peace, Mahatma Gandhi, who reminded us that, “Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly.” Both were true examples of choosing the love found in the messy, pit-stained trenches where they could hear the cries of their brothers and sisters over the gunshots. They echo now over the silent ones, the estimated 52 brothers and sisters who’ve died in ICE custody in the first 500 days of the second Trump administration, according to a June Human Watch and Physicians for Human Rights report. No, it’s not easy answering the cries of our brothers and sisters.
