What Is Happening Now: Immigration, ICE, and Our Shared Responsibility

This Platform will feature a split collection to benefit the Migrant and Immigrant Community Action Project (MICA Project) and the Ethical Society.

Join us for a timely and grounding conversation on immigration, enforcement, and ethical responsibility. As public attention intensifies around ICE activity and immigration policy in the United States, it can be difficult to separate fear from fact. Drawing on her work supporting immigrant communities in St. Louis, Mirka will offer context on what is happening right now, how immigration enforcement impacts real families and neighborhoods, and what it means to respond with integrity rather than panic. This talk will focus on truth-seeking through lived experience, evidence, and ethical reflection. Mirka will invite us to consider how communities can act as informed and compassionate allies by centering dignity, clarity, and shared responsibility in moments of uncertainty.

Music for this Platform will feature interactive songs from the Justice Choir songbook, led by Claire Alexander, director of Justice Choir STL. These songs offer a way to embody our values through our collective voice. Justice Choir STL provides opportunities for St. Louisans to come together to sing in solidarity, including at demonstrations and public actions throughout St. Louis. Every voice is welcome.
