On a bold, yellow background, the following quote appears in black text:

"Jeanette has spent decades fighting for her community. We will not allow her to disappear without a fight. Our faith compels us to love boldly. Our values demand that we take risks. And our democracy requires our participation… We must act."

In smaller, text, the quote attribution reads “Rev. Sean Neil-Barron, Acting Senior Minister of Foothills Unitarian, and the Foothills Immigration Team.”

To the right of the text a photograph of Jeanette Vizguerra is overlaid on the yellow background. She is speaking into a microphone, wearing a white sleeveless dress with a red scarf. Her long, dark hair is wavy, and she is wearing large beaded earrings.

At the bottom, large bold, black text reads "FREE JEANETTE VIZGUERRA!"

Below this, a dark gray box with with white text provides a link for further action:

In the upper right corner, a black and white Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) logo is displayed, with “UUA.ORG" below. The text "Image credit: Foothills Unitarian," appears vertically along the right edge in small black text.

ICE agents detained Jeanette Vizguerra—mother, grandmother, & immigrant rights advocate—without warning or due process. This is part of a broader pattern of targeting activists & asylum seekers to spread fear.

UU's are in solidarity with all who seek sanctuary.
