Ft Myers city council voted against an agreement between local PD & ICE. As a result state and federal funds were threatened. FL attorney gen threatened legal action unless they "reconsider their stance." Thank you to the brave folks who stood up for our immigrant community🙏 tinyurl.com/FtmyersICE

Proud of Rev. Tony Fisher letter recognizing the value of immigrants in SWFL. The 5th amendment protects the right of all people from having their life, liberty or property taken away without due process. Rev. Tony writes on behalf of the Interfaith Alliance of Southwest Florida. bit.ly/434hMcE

The root word of xenophobia comes from the Greek "xenos" which means foreigner, but also ally or lifelong friend. The less commonly used xenophilia means an appreciation for or attraction to foreign customs, cultures or manners. Loving the intro to Emily Wilson's translation of the Odyssey.
