Community Market stands in solidarity with our immigrant community and with all people whose basic human rights, safety, and dignity are under threat. We unequivocally denounce ICE and the harm its policies and practices cause to individuals, families, and communities across our country. We reject systems that rely on fear, detention, and separation.

 

We support the nationwide general strike as an expression of collective resistance and care in a moment when basic human rights, safety, and democracy are under attack.

 

We fully support our workers in their right to participate in this moment in whatever way feels right to them. Their safety, autonomy, and voices matter, and we stand behind their right to act according to their values and conscience.

 

As a small, worker-run organization, we hold two responsibilities at once: to speak out for justice and human dignity, and to protect the livelihoods of the people who make this place possible. Supporting justice means caring for people beyond our doors and caring for the workers inside them.

 

This organization was founded out of activism. It was built as a way to challenge systems that weren’t serving our community and to create something more just and accessible. Organizing, speaking out, and building mutual aid networks is how this organization began. We’re stewards of that work, and carrying it forward means continuing to show up and take a stand, even when it’s uncomfortable. That isn’t a shift for us. It’s who we are.

 

In Solidarity,

Community Market
