For the past year, Maddie and Addie have dedicated their free time to caring for immigrant families and volunteering to support their community.

On October 14, they were arrested by the Santa Ana Police Department while documenting ICE activity in Santa Ana. They were wrongfully detained, handcuffed and taken into custody for exercising their constitutional right to legally observe and document law enforcement activity.

As a community, we are raising funds for Maddie and Addie, who we work alongside as community volunteers. Donations will help cover legal expenses, rent, basic necessities, and mental health resources. Support received will go to help them navigate the aftermath of their unjust arrest and the legal complexities of fighting these charges.

We are asking the community to show up for them the same way they themselves have shown up for so many of our neighbors.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you’re not able to give, sharing this fundraiser would also mean a lot.

Thank you for standing with Maddie and Addie.
