At Scarritt Bennett Center, our commitment to racial justice is grounded in radical hospitality and sacred resistance. What is happening in South Nashville—the targeting, detaining, and terrorizing of immigrant families through traffic stops and knocking on doors by ICE and the Tennessee Highway Patrol—is a violent betrayal of justice. This is not law enforcement. This is racialized control. Silence is consent. Racial Justice Ministries stands in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, whose presence in this city is not a threat, but a blessing. We denounce these raids as acts of harm, and we call on people of conscience to rise…
