This week, Casa Alterna’s Advocacy Committee showed up—at every level—because dignity is not optional.

We’ve called on our U.S. Senators and @atlcouncil to demand accountability for what’s happening inside ICE’s Atlanta Field Office. People are being held for days—and even weeks—in a space meant for only a few hours. Reports describe overcrowding, no beds, not enough food, and lack of medical care. These conditions are not just wrong—they violate basic human rights. Earlier this week, we brought that same urgency to City Hall. Our own Grace Agnew spoke in support of the City Council’s recent resolution and called for a full investigation. She spoke with clarity and courage, reminding everyone: behind every policy is a human being—someone’s child, parent, or neighbor. This is not abstract. This is happening in our city. We will keep showing up. We will keep documenting. We will keep demanding accountability. Because silence is complicity—and our community chooses something better. #dignitynotdetention
