Hi, everyone. So this week, Red Wine and Blue held a virtual event. We called Moms for Good, where our

community got together. And we're talking whether that was moms of kids or whether you are

mothering nieces and nephews or grandkids or your neighbors or your community. We all got together

to process and grieve for Renee Good, who was killed in Minneapolis last week by a nice agent.

We talked about how it's okay.

In fact, it's necessary to feel all the feelings, sadness, fear, anger, overwhelm.

But we also talked about how fear is being used to silence us.

And as moms, neighbors, and friends, we have to stay

in the fight. We just have to. Tomorrow on the pod will be joined by two suburban moms in Chicago

who were arrested for protesting ICE last year. Nikki and Sarah were among our guests at last night's

event, and you'll get to hear both of their stories

in more detail on the pod tomorrow. I hope this event helps you as much as it helped me.

And I rise up. I rise like the day. I rise up. I rise unafraid. I rise up and I do it a thousand times again we will rise

Wow thank you for being here at a moment when so many of us are feeling angry, afraid, and just sad.

My name is Katie Paris. I am the founder of Red Wine and Blue. We're a community of over half a million women working together all across the country to defeat extremism.

And that feels very important right now.

Okay, everyone, Renee Good.

She was a 37-year-old mom.

She just dropped her child off at school, and she was out on the lookout for her community when she was shot in the face and killed by a federal ICE agent in Minneapolis,

just a mile from where George Floyd called out for his mother.

Whether we mother kids, grandkids, nieces, or nephews, or our communities, our neighbors,

we are all here tonight as moms for good. We understand that those in power are intent on instilling fear in us so that we are discouraged from speaking up so we throw up our hands in the air and do nothing.
