To pay respect to Renee Nicole Good, whose life was taken by an ICE agent on 7 January, the BHC and Flensburg would like to provide support to her family and those who knew her for her kindness and love to many. A Pic of the Week special has been included here.

The deadline for voting for the Bridgehunter Awards has been pushed back to allow time for mourning. The deadline is now January 27th at 11:59pm Chicago time (6:59am Berlin time the following day). The winners will be announced on January 28th in the Chronicles.

When out in the streets, do something what Renee would do: Help others, volunteer for any organization, take a stand against the regime. Be active. Friends and family come together when we do something kind to one another. Together we all achieve more.

The Bridgehunter’s Chronicles and sister column The Flensburg Files are paying tribute to a fallen person, whose life was taken senselessly and as a consequence, we’re being dragged int…
