First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me.
-Martin Niemoller
Friedrich Gustav Emil Martin Niemoller (14 January 1892 – 6 March 1984) was a German theologian and Lutheran pastor. He opposed the Nazi regime during the late 1930s, and was sent to a concentration camp for his affiliation with the Confessing Church and his opposition to state involvement in Church. After the war, he went on tour around the world to condemn the Nazi cause and educate people about the importance of human rights.

And there was no one left to speak out for me.
The “ME” is US…All people living in America: citizens, non-citizens, immigrants.
Our primary adversaries right now are the movement striving to eliminate the government by the people and replace it with a dictatorship; and, the heinous tactics of federal agents, like ICE.
What can We the People do to oppose this movement?
Vote.
Peacefully demonstrate.
Call and write to your Senators and Representatives in Congress demanding that they honor and adhere to their sworn duty, loyalty, and commitment to preserve and defend the Constitution, not anyone in government or elsewhere.
Do Not Be Afraid.
