This is breaking my heart right now 💔

We have tried to really limit the news we share with our kids, especially the scarier stuff, but our 6 year old knows enough of what is going on to be able to come up with this sign on her own, she made it for me to take to a protest.

@aeischeid our kid is a bit older, so they do get more news

Kids all across our city, including mine, organized their own walk out in protest of ICE on Friday

We are leaning from the bravery of people in Minneapolis and Minnesota more broadly

Here in California as well. I could hear them from my house out yelling Friday afternoon. They just walked out of class and did a spontaneous protest in front of the school.

@darwinwoodka @aeischeid At our middle school, the one featured in the article I linked, it was planned, and it was all planned by kids. No adults. Amazing.
