""Home, as we know it, is under threat," they said in a press release. "When immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers exercise their human right to safe passage, they defend our ability to do so-and our right to be and feel at home." Rex and Alverson invite us "to join a local organization defending our neighbors, to call our representatives, to have those hard talks with our family members.""
