Due to the recent rise in political unrest, widespread ICE raids, and an alarming increase in law enforcement and military presence in our beloved communities, we have made the difficult decision to postpone our Power, Praise & Community Service event.
Kappa Omega Omicron Fraternity, Inc. the safety of those we serve is, and always will be, our highest priority. The very people we aim to uplift, those in need of food, comfort, and a sense of belonging are now the ones being targeted. What we are witnessing is not isolated. It is not limited by race or language.
Yes, our Latin sisters and brothers are being arrested and detained. But so too are peaceful protestors, the homeless, and less fortunate people of all backgrounds, colors, and stories. Compassion is being criminalized. Peace is being met with force. And those who dare to organize for hope are attempting to be silenced by fear.
It breaks our hearts.
This is not the message we hoped to share. We planned to celebrate life, unity, and faith with our communities. Instead, weβre forced to confront a reality where even acts of love and service are treated as threats. We will not risk further harm to those already under fire. And we cannot, in good conscience, host an event meant to bring joy while so many live in fear.
We ask that you please keep our cities, our people, and this country in your deepest prayers. The news does not tell the whole story. We are seeing it unfold with our own eyes. And it hurts. It hurts to see the soul of our cities under siege.
To everyone feeling afraid, unseen, or unheard: you are not alone. We see you. We stand with you. And when the time is right, when the streets feel safe again, & folks aren't threatened with being picked up by ICE or facing unarrest, we will return with louder praise, stronger power, and even deeper love.
Until then, stay safe. Stay strong. Stay hopeful. Keep praying because prayer changes things.
With love and solidarity,
Kappa Omega Omicron Fraternity, Inc.
