Stars on Red Carpet Make Powerful Statement Against ICE, Honor Fallen Activist Renee Good.
As the stars took to the Golden Globes red carpet Sunday night, many of them made a subtle yet powerful statement by wearing black-and-white pins with anti-ICE messages. The simple yet striking pins read "ICE OUT" or "BE GOOD," a tribute to slain activist Renee Good who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis just this week.
The pins were the result of a grassroots campaign led by Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power and Jess Morales Rocketto of Latino advocacy group Maremoto, who recruited celebrities to wear the pins as a show of solidarity against the agency's actions. Mark Ruffalo, Jean Smart, Wanda Sykes, and Natasha Lyonne were among those who donned the pins on the red carpet.
Wanda Sykes explained her decision to wear the pin in an interview with Variety, saying it was for Renee Good's mother who was murdered by an ICE agent, and that they need to "speak up" and shut down the agency. Her sentiments were echoed by many of the other celebrities who wore the pins, with a sense of outrage and determination.
The pins are more than just a fashion statement; they're a powerful act of resistance against the policies of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. By wearing them on the red carpet, these stars are sending a clear message that they will not be silenced or ignored.
As the country continues to grapple with issues of immigration and social justice, it's heartening to see celebrities using their platform to make a difference. The "ICE OUT" and "BE GOOD" pins may seem small, but they represent a collective refusal to stand idly by in the face of injustice.
