Confronting the Tide: A Deep Dive into Immigration Challenges

At Scarritt Bennett Center, we anchor our dedication to racial equity in radical hospitality and sacred resistance. The actions unfolding in South Nashville, where immigrant families face targeted intimidation and detainment via traffic stops and home invasions by ICE, represent a grievous violation of justice. This is not authentic law enforcement; it's racialized domination. Silence signifies complicity. Racial Justice Ministries stands united with our immigrant community, affirming their presence is a blessing. We advocate for human dignity and urge action from those who share our values. Uphold your rights regardless of your status. Stay silent: “I choose to remain silent.” Avoid signing documents without legal counsel, and do not open doors without a court order. Keep detailed records of events and carry valid U.S. identification. For ICE activity, contact MUSIC CITY MIGRAWATCH at 615-933-8409. Scarritt Bennett Center is devoted to organizing, educating, and advocating until systemic oppression is dismantled and a Beloved Community is achieved.
