• Alumbrando Community Meeting

    Alumbrando Community Meeting

    Immigration enforcement is impacting families connected to the Oak Ridge area. It is happening here… just not in the way many of us expected. What many of us prepared for was “house raids.” What we’re seeing instead are pickups that begin with routine stops (often outside Oak Ridge) and the fallout lands at home: kids, jobs, housing, school, and family stability.

    A lot of people are feeling uncertainty right now. That’s understandable. Information changes quickly, rumors move faster, and when everyday life starts feeling unpredictable, people don’t know what to believe… or what to do.

    That’s why Alumbrando exists: to help community members understand how to respond safely and responsibly in these moments, and to help families who are impacted navigate next steps and get support.

    We’re leaning into both, and adjusting our approach to meet what’s actually happening on the ground. If you’ve been asking how to help, join us for an in-person Community Update + Training on Saturday, Feb 21 (12-2 PM)

  • Weekly No Kings Protest

    Weekly No Kings Protest

    We the people are stronger than the people in power.

    And we’re here, we showed that with the No Kings events nationwide.

    Even in the south.

    Even in the small towns and rural areas.

    Even in the places where we feel alone in opposing this slide into autocracy.

    We’re here, and we’ll continue to stand up for what’s right.

    The No Kings day of action was historic, but it wasn’t the end. There’s more work to do. Sustained, consistent action is what it will take to push back on this administration’s attempts to take basic services from everyday Americans and pay for them with tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

    Join us every Saturday from 12-2 pm!

    We’re a local, nonpartisan group of concerned citizens protesting the government overreach happening around us.

    Bring a sign, voice your concerns, and build your community.
