The Wonderment: Defeat & Carrying On. Two recent legal decisions in the U.S. have a great many of us struggling with fresh grief and great pain, with feeling like we and/or our neighbors are being discounted and unequal under the law.

ACT FAST: Why I joined the Fast for Families Across America and what’s next!
I joined the Fast for Families Across America bus tour last week, and I can honestly say it has been a life changing experience for me. That isn’t a phrase I use lightly; being able to hear first hand so many heart-wrenching stories of immigrant families has encouraged me to re-double my own efforts to help make compassionate, comprehensive immigration reform a reality this year. I’m sharing this reflection because I hope you, as a dedicated Standing on the Side of Love supporter, will also recommit and join one of our many actions alongside Immigrant Justice groups in coming days and weeks.
For one week, I rode with our partners as the bus wove through Florida, making numerous stops per day at Congressional offices, local City Halls, community centers, and houses of worship.
