Philanthropy Urged to Protect Protest Rights Amid Trump Administration's Crackdown
The Trump administration's actions against ICE protesters have sparked calls for philanthropy to defend the right to protest and bear witness. Recent incidents, including the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Macklin Good, highlight the dangers faced by those documenting and protesting immigration enforcement. The administration's tactics, perceived as intimidation, aim to deter dissent but have instead galvanized community support, with thousands joining efforts to protect immigrant neighbors. The administration's use of surveillance and legal actions against protesters and critics, including elected officials, underscores the need for philanthropic support to safeguard constitutional rights.
