HERE Possibly the last message from Renee Nicole Good, whom officials and apologists insist on calling "the woman" or "the leftist" to depersonalize her, because she did not obey authority, the same authority that during the pandemic also forced others to obey the law.
"This message is for all my Latino people, all immigrants here in the United States. And I'm sorry, my Spanish isn't perfect, but I hope you receive this message with all my heart. I know there is a lot of fear in your community, but I want to tell you something: know that you are not alone. The truth is, we are fighting. I am fighting with all my might, and I know many people in every state, in every corner of this country, who are also fighting. I have had the pleasure of working alongside you, laughing with you, learning from you, and—my son goes to school with your children, and my life is better for it. You have shared your lives, your stories, your souls, your homes, even your lunchboxes with me when I have nothing to eat, and for that I will always be grateful.
The truth is, I am very ashamed of how our country's government is treating people. Honestly, it hurts me a lot. It hurts me to see a community that I know is full of joy and love and compassion, and to see you suffering so much, locked up in your homes, it really hurts me, it hurts me, it hurts me, it hurts me. And I promise, I swear, that I will never stop fighting. I can't stop, because seeing what is happening in our community, in our country, is too much for me, it's too much, but I want you to know that you are not alone. You are not alone, okay? I care about you, and many people care about you, and you are loved, you are important, and this country is also yours, and we will continue to fight for you.
