"I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism and militarism are incapable of being conquered. A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies." - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

This is still the plan of action: “May we be worthy of desperate hope. May we have the courage to stand alone and the courage to risk being together. May we be disobedient, whenever we receive orders that humiliate our conscience or violate our common sense. May we be so stubborn as to continue to believe, against all evidence, that the human condition is worthwhile, because we have been badly made, but we are not finished. May we be able to keep traveling the windy paths, despite the falls and the betrayals and the defeats, because history continues, beyond us, and when it says goodbye, it is saying: see you later. May we keep alive the certainty that it is possible to be a compatriot and a contemporary of anyone who lives animated by the will for justice and the will for beauty, wherever they are born and whenever they live, because the maps of the soul and of time have no borders." - Eduardo Galeano

Renee Nicole Good was killed in broad daylight, on video, in front of witnesses. Her tragic death in Minneapolis was not an accident. It was the predictable result of a violent, out-of-control, militarized apparatus that has shown, again and again, a reckless disregard for our civil and human rights.
 
We honor her life and offer our deepest condolences to all of Renee’s loved ones.
 
The evidence against ICE is overwhelming and familiar to communities across the country. What happened to Renee reflects a nationwide pattern of reckless violence and callous inaction. As more people take to the streets, we are making something clear: we will not accept a system that treats human lives as expendable.
 
ICE violence has become a national civil and human rights crisis. But it is not inevitable. Change is possible, and it begins with accountability. Those responsible for killing Renee must be held accountable. And accountability cannot stop there. If we are serious about ending this crisis, the collective power of everyday people must outweigh the political power and resources of lawless law enforcement.
 
That means real community control, over budgets, funding, policies, and practices. It means systemic shifts in policing that break violent patterns and prevent future injustices, not reforms that preserve the status quo.
 
The growing resistance, organizing, and movement-building we are witnessing gives us hope. But hope alone is not enough. We owe it to Renee, and to every person harmed by state violence, to ensure these tragedies do not continue.
 
Renee`s killing occurred shortly after the Department of Homeland Security announced the largest DHS operation ever, deploying more than 2,000 federal immigration officers into Minnesota. We condemn this killing unequivocally and call for the immediate withdrawal of federal agents from Minnesota and an end to these dangerous escalations nationwide.
 
We will continue organizing, because only organized communities can dismantle structural racism and state violence. And only collective power can build a society where dignity, safety, and human rights are guaranteed.

The Trump Regime`s Carnage Doctrine, at home and abroad, is alive and terrible in 2026. We are definitely living in the time of monsters.

But we are here and not going anywhere. Forward Together as always!

From the book War is a Racket: “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”

For far too long, we’ve been living through overlapping crises. Political, economic, and climate. Also moral, emotional, and cultural. As 2025 comes to a close, we keep hearing the same thing from people we love and respect: the world feels heavier, more brutal, and more disconnected than ever.

Many people feel overwhelmed by the pace of harm, worn down by inequality and repression, and unsure where to place their hope. As fundamental systems unravel, more and more of us are asking a deeper question: What are we building and who are we building it with?

For the past 16 years, Presente.org has practiced a simple truth: solidarity and social movements are not abstract ideas. They are built through relationships, shared culture, collective action, and deep care across borders and differences. At a time when powerful forces are working to isolate us and turn neighbors into enemies, Presente exists to help people choose connection.

This moment echoes the work of movements and thinkers advancing systemic transformation. The Next System work invites us to imagine and bring into being alternatives to extractive political and economic systems that are grounded in human dignity, democracy, and ecological well-being. Culture, storytelling, and shared meaning are not secondary to these efforts, they are forms of collective power.

We are also living at the beginning of something deeply hopeful. When old systems no longer serve, new ones begin to take shape. New structures and practices rooted in shared power, collective care, and lived experience.

With our collaborators and community, Presente is honored to help bridge us toward that future. By sustaining leaders, protecting communities, telling our own stories, and building the long-term infrastructure movements need to thrive we can make this real. We need a new story. One grounded in dignity, democracy, and belonging. And together, we can build it.

ICE Brutality is a National Civil and Human Rights Crisis
Her name was Renee Nicole Good

Statement from Matt Nelson, Executive Director, Presente.org:

Renee Nicole Good was killed in broad daylight, on video, in front of witnesses. Her tragic death in Minneapolis was not an accident. It was the predictable result of a violent, out-of-control, militarized apparatus that has shown, again and again, a reckless disregard for our civil and human rights.

We honor her life and offer our deepest condolences to all of Renee’s loved ones.

The evidence against ICE is overwhelming and familiar to communities across the country. What happened to Renee reflects a nationwide pattern of reckless violence and callous inaction. As more people take to the streets, we are making something clear: we will not accept a system that treats human lives as expendable.

ICE violence has become a national civil and human rights crisis. But it is not inevitable. Change is possible, and it begins with accountability. Those responsible for killing Renee must be held accountable. And accountability cannot stop there. If we are serious about ending this crisis, the collective power of everyday people must outweigh the political power and resources of lawless law enforcement.

That means real community control, over budgets, funding, policies, and practices. It means systemic shifts in policing that break violent patterns and prevent future injustices, not reforms that preserve the status quo.

The growing resistance, organizing, and movement-building we are witnessing gives us hope. But hope alone is not enough. We owe it to Renee, and to every person harmed by state violence, to ensure these tragedies do not continue.

Renee's killing occurred shortly after the Department of Homeland Security announced the largest DHS operation ever, deploying more than 2,000 federal immigration officers into Minnesota. We condemn this killing unequivocally and call for the immediate withdrawal of federal agents from Minnesota and an end to these dangerous escalations nationwide.

We will continue organizing, because only organized communities can dismantle structural racism and state violence. And only collective power can build a society where dignity, safety, and human rights are guaranteed.
