Since the start of 2025, we’ve watched as neighbors, friends, and family are snatched off the street by men in masks. The budget for the DHS, which runs ICE, is a whopping $28.7 billion. So, where is all the money in the bloated budget going? A lot of it is going towards surveillance technology to terrorize our communities. Check out our latest blog post by Ignite Peace intern @teagannphillipss to learn more. Link in bio!

A young father was on his way with his family to his daughter`s 1st birthday party when he was pulled over by local police in Butler County. Instead of going through the customary judicial process, this TPS recipient and asylum seeker faces deportation and permanent separation from his family. This is cruel and unusual punishment. Mercy for Alfonso now!

A reflection from our Executive Director, Shannon Hughes:
"As this year comes to a close, I am holding two truths at once: it has been an incredibly challenging time and I have seen extraordinary acts of courage, compassion, and solidarity. When division feels loud, you continue to choose connection. When systems cause harm, you keep showing up for one another. When our cooperation is demanded violently, you have demonstrated loving resistance.
This year, your support helped build and sustain countless acts of collective strength. Thank you for your partnership. Your commitment brings light to a time that deeply needs it and strengthens all of us."
Happy New Year.

When individuals come together – sharing responsibility, showing up for one another, and refusing to give in to fear – we are stronger than we even know.
Giving to Ignite Peace is more than a contribution - it is an act of resistance against violence, fear, and division. It strengthens the networks that protect our communities and helps build the nonviolent future we know is possible.
Can you make a gift to help us reach our goal of $20,000? With your support we will be able to deepen our trainings, amplify community stories, support grassroots leaders, and sustain the coalitions that make real change possible.

December 10 marks the 77th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. The theme of this year`s International Human Rights Day is "Our Everyday Essentials," highlighting the importance human rights play in our every day lives.
"Human rights are ESSENTIAL. They are the essentials we all share, the common ground that unites us across differences of race, gender, belief, or background. In a world of uncertainty, human rights remain our everyday constants. When everything feels unstable, your right to safety, to speak freely and to participate in decisions that affect us, become the bedrock of our lives." - United Nations` Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner.
Essential human rights look like the freedom to attend school without the fear of ICE taking you from the street, the justice of due process, and the dignity of being able to access food and healthcare to thrive.
Thank you to all of our supporters who continue to advocate for our essential human rights of equality, justice, freedom, and dignity.
