Home is Where the Resistance Is

The New York Times:

A casserole can be a potent weapon.

It is one that Shanna Castillo has been using with precision since she started a neighborhood Facebook group, Love Trumps Hate Sunset Park Brooklyn, the week after Donald J. Trump was elected president.

Every month, members invite undocumented immigrants from the neighborhood into their homes for dinner. With food, wine and child care, living rooms are transformed into havens where immigrants can speak freely with lawyers and advocates about their rights and risks.

Planning sessions for the group, with about 300 members, take place in one member’s rowhouse and in the basement of a co-op in the neighborhood. Participants bring casseroles, desserts and their children.
