In the headlines...

Religious leaders run powerful ‘Choose love, not ICE’ ad during holy season — including on Fox News at Mar-a-Lago

The multi-faith group Interfaith Alliance just released a 30-second video ad that contrasts ICE’s violent raids against “the holy season’s religious calling to ‘love thy neighbor.’”

In the ad, viewers see images of ICE raids interspersed with clips of families joyfully gathering for Christmas. In the background, “O Holy Night” plays, with simple text on-screen: “In America, we love one another. Choose love, not ICE.”

The ads will appear across digital, broadcast television, and streaming services, particularly targeting media markets that have seen intense crackdowns from federal immigration agents, as well as on Fox News in the West Palm Beach, Florida area, where Mar-a-Lago is located.

Even better: The ad also urges supporters to sign a petition to amplifying this message: “This holy season, ICE cruelty is threatening our religious calling to love our neighbors … As faithful Americans, as an expression of our values, we demand that the federal government stop the attacks on our neighbors and we call on our political and religious leaders to stand in solidarity against their cruelty.”
