When our immigrant neighbors are under attack, what do we do? STAND UP, FIGHT BACK!

Thank you all for standing with us for Chan. His story is the story of hundreds of immigrants right here in Rhode Island fighting for the right to remain with their families in the only home they have ever known.

While he and many of our other community members work with their attorneys to seek relief in court, PrYSM and the Hong family have decided to launch "Pardons for the People" a campaign to fight for those most at-risk to be pardoned and for RI to establish a pardons taskforce to fill in this huge gap. 

Our state elected officials have a duty to keep our communities safe. The question is clear, when federal institutions abuse their power to harm the people, what will you do? Which side will you be on?

Stay tuned for further announcements

This past weekend PrYSM and the Hong family spoke at a vigil to honor Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, Parady La, Lorth Sim, and the many lives we've lost to ICE's ever increasing violence.

We say, "Not One More" because we have witnessed too many families torn apart, children left without parents, mothers mourning their sons, and the ripple effect on the family and our communities that ICE leaves in its wake. Whether it be the slow death of detention and deportation or the sharp murder of our people in the streets, we cannot and will not allow this to go on.

That is precisely why we are demanding Governor Mckee and our elected officials to act. It is their duty to protect vulnerable working class Rhode Island families and that includes fighting to keep Chansareth home.

🚨 URGENT: CHANSARETH HONG HAS BEEN DETAINED BY ICE 🚨

Today, ICE detained Chansareth Hong, a Cambodian American father, the sole caregiver for his non-verbal autistic 9-year-old son, and the primary provider for his elderly mother.

For more than 28 years, Chansareth did everything ICE asked of him, never missing a single check-in. Today, ICE tore him away from his family and community.
We need our community now.

📍 Gather with us immediately at: Warwick Teachers Union Parking Lot 585 Jefferson Blvd Warwick, RI 02886

Bring your voice. Bring your signs. Bring your community.

We will not allow Chansareth to face this alone.
Keep Chansareth Home. Free Chansareth Hong. Families Belong Together.
