This is such an incredibly dangerous time to be an immigrant activist as you have just pointed out. It’s a dangerous time to be a person of color to be disabled to be old to be so many things, to be young to be a member of the LGBTQ plus communities And so on and so on. each person has to make a decision about how they protest. I think the important thing is that each of us, especially white folks do something meaningful each day in solitarily with all others and especially with those who need to pay attention and be careful and stay as safe as possible. Gratitude to you for your courage and for writing this piece and sharing up with the rest of us.
By all means, take care of yourself & yours! Your life & your voice are valued and we need you where you are doing what you do. Now is the time for others (including myself even as a member of the Lgbqt community) to walk the walk in public. 💜
Protect yourself, by all means, and know there are many, many of us fearing for your safety and absolutely appalled that it has come to this.

Your intincts are protecting you, and your smarts and experience are educating us.
As more Caucasian US citizens hear from people in your situation, then more of us will show up on your behalf.
You stay safe, engage in other ways, and we will carry on out in public. We will come together someday.
I will be out there for you…please stay safe…
