Stand with Mayor Baraka Against Political Retaliation

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is taking a courageous stand for justice, accountability, and the right to speak truth to power.

After being wrongfully arrested at an immigration detention center during a lawful oversight visit, Mayor Baraka has filed a lawsuit against Trump administration officials who he says targeted him for political reasons. His arrest was not only unjust—it was a clear attempt to intimidate and silence elected leaders who are fighting for humane immigration policies and government transparency.

Baraka's case was dropped within 10 days, but he didn’t stop there. He’s calling out the abuse of power and seeking justice through the courts—not just for himself, but for every official and community member who dares to challenge injustice.

At a time when democracy is under attack, Mayor Baraka is showing the kind of fearless leadership we need.

Add your name to applaud Mayor Ras Baraka for defending democratic principles and refusing to be silenced by political retribution. Let's show that the public stands with leaders who stand up for what's right.
