A Kansas judge temporarily blocked enforcement of parts of the state’s ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while an ACLU-led legal challenge moves forward. The lawsuit argues the law violates constitutional protections and would cause harm to Kansas families.

🚨 COMMUNITY ACTION ALERT 🚨

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13, Joe Ceballos has reportedly been ordered to report to ICE at 11:00 AM at 555 N. Woodlawn in Wichita.

Joe is a longtime Kansas resident and former Coldwater mayor whose case has drawn statewide attention. Recent reporting indicated he reached a plea agreement on misdemeanor election-related charges while hoping to avoid deportation proceedings.

We will not stay silent while families and community members are targeted through fear and intimidation.

πŸ“ 555 N. Woodlawn – Wichita
πŸ•™ Gather at 10:00 AM
πŸ•š Scheduled ICE reporting time: 11:00 AM

Let’s show up peacefully and visibly to make it clear that this community is paying attention and that we will not tolerate ICE activity like this in Wichita without public accountability.

Bring signs, water, and your voice.
Remain peaceful. Remain visible. Remain together.

If you attend:
β€’ Stay on public sidewalks and spaces
β€’ Do not engage in confrontation
β€’ Help keep one another safe
β€’ Document respectfully and responsibly
β€’ Support de-escalation and community care
No one should have to face this alone.

OUR MESSAGE & GOAL
As America approaches the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, our country stands at a crossroads.

This should be a time to celebrate progress, protect democracy, and recommit ourselves to liberty and equality for everyone. Instead, we are witnessing coordinated efforts to erase history, undermine civil rights, divide communities, and whitewash both our past and our future.

We refuse to comply.

We are coming together to:
✊ Protect and repair our full history β€” not erase it
✊ Celebrate progress won through struggle and collective action
✊ Defend democracy, civil rights, and human dignity
✊ Commit ourselves to building a future with liberty and justice for All of U.S.

⚠️ Reminder:
We are committed to NONVIOLENT action.
β€’ De-escalate conflict
β€’ Act lawfully
β€’ Keep each other safe
β€’ No weapons of any kind

Bring your signs.
Bring your voice.
Bring your neighbors.
Let’s show up for each other.
