'Lovely Christian women ask us why we aren’t the ‘Tías of Love,' but this isn’t about love. It’s about being angry and using that passion to make this right.” Meet the women fighting for immigrants at the border: lights4liberty CloseTheCamps
Isabella Dally-SteeleLike the seven other board members of The Angry Tías and Abuelas of the Rio Grande Valley, a nonprofit that helps asylum seekers at the southern border between Mexico and the U.S., she couldn’t sit still when she heard about the Trump administration’s zero-tolerance policy that forced border patrol agents to separate immigrant families—so she headed to the bridges and bus stops in Brownsville, Texas.
“We would like to see an immigration system that actually makes sense and is dignifying and respects human beings,” Filippone told“How we will get there, we don’t know. But I’m here today. If I’m exhausted or unsafe, I’ll stop, but that hasn’t happened yet.” Whether the Tías are lighting candles or raising their fists, their work takes an emotional toll on their members. But while some Tías have taken short breaks from the nonprofit, none have ever quit. The work is heavy and overwhelming—but the power members draw from their anger is far stronger. “I’ve never thought about quitting or even taking a break,” Filippone said. “The task is too important… I think that’s what keeps me going.
