Why I’m Protesting

I have never protested before in my entire life, but [this week] I watched 4th and 5th grade students run away from our own Government. I never want to see that again and I am not going to stand by and watch my neighbors have to run away scared.

This is not Camden County, it’s not New Jersey, and it is not the United States. I love the United States, I love New Jersey, and I love Camden County. I love Lindenwold too. This is not what we are…this is no who we are.

So I decided that I was going to come out here and stand with you guys and be a part of this protest. I never want to see a child have to run away from our government ever again.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
