Signs of Love

The message below went out to Standing on the Side of Love supporters. Sign-up for these emails here.

Dear Friends,

I am convinced that my Standing on the Side of Love bumper sticker has made me immune to road rage. Time and time again, I have seen drivers roar up behind me and then slowly back off.

My friends don’t believe me, but I know our message has the power to stop rage in its tracks; and we must stop rage in its tracks.

I learned this lesson when I joined four undocumented student for two days as they were walking from Miami to Washington, D.C., sharing their story and their dreams along the way. When I asked why we were walking on a very busy four-lane highway, I learned they were afraid of being out of cell phone range and in places where few people were in sight, “just in case.”

Our immigrant neighbors need to know that in case something does happen, God forbid, they have a neighbor to whom they can turn.

You can be known as such a neighbor by ordering yard signs that say, “Standing on the Side of Love with Immigrant Families.”

It is a small gesture, but it is a bold gesture.

Sometimes all people need in order to let go of fear, anger, and rage is a sign.

Love,
Adam
