“some noted they had lost fans and donors. There are some people who like Irish music but think ICE is just here to enforce the law. But Natalie O’Shea, executive director at Celtic Junction, told me, “To believe in laws over belief in people is to be colonized.””

The Creative Enterprise Zone is deeply disturbed by the raid at Bro-Tex, a long-time business in our area. Immigrants are essential to our creative, entrepreneurial, & industrial fabric. We stand w our neighbors & remain committed to a community where all feel safe, respected & able to thrive.
