Religious leaders run powerful 'Choose love, not ICE' ad during holy season — including on Fox News at Mar-a-Lago
The multi-faith group Interfaith Alliance just released a 30-second video ad that contrasts ICE's violent raids against "the holy season's religious calling to 'love thy neighbor.'"
In the ad, viewers see images of ICE raids interspersed with clips of families joyfully gathering for Christmas. In the background, "O Holy Night" plays, with simple text on-screen: "In America, we love one another. Choose love, not ICE."
The ads will appear across digital, broadcast television, and streaming services, particularly targeting media markets that have seen intense crackdowns from federal immigration agents, as well as on Fox News in the West Palm Beach, Florida area, where Mar-a-Lago is located.
Even better: The ad also urges supporters to sign a petition to amplifying this message: "This holy season, ICE cruelty is threatening our religious calling to love our neighbors … As faithful Americans, as an expression of our values, we demand that the federal government stop the attacks on our neighbors and we call on our political and religious leaders to stand in solidarity against their cruelty."
A 16-year-old donated 800 Christmas presents to the hospital where she spent her childhood in
Lydia Brown spent the majority of her childhood on the pediatric floor at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine — so the 16-year-old knows what it's like to spend Christmas in a hospital bed.
That's why, for four years straight, Brown has donated Christmas presents to kids on the pediatric floor. She calls it the Lydia Project.
This year, she donated over 800 presents, making it her "most successful year" yet. Most of the gifts are donated by neighbors in her community — and she and her mom do the rest, making sure no children go without a gift.

Hundreds of surfers paddle out to honor and remember victims of Bondi Beach terrorist attack
Since the terrorist attack on a Hanukkah celebration that claimed the lives of 15 people, Bondi Beach has become a large vigil site to honor and remember those killed.
On Friday morning, hundreds of surfers and swimmers in the community joined in a "paddle out" to "spread light, love, compassion, and unity" and to honor the lives lost. Hundreds more gathered on shore for a memorial.

Thanks to Dolly Parton, 1 in 7 US children under the age of 5 receive free books every month
According to Dolly Parton's father, the singer's biggest, "most important" accomplishment has been the Imagination Library. And according to Parton, her father's "inability to read probably kept him from fulfilling all of his dreams."
Now 30 years since its inception, the Imagination Library has grown enormously. Every month, approximately 3 million children across the United States and Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom receive a free book in the mail — so far, it's delivered over 270 million books.
The Imagination Library also works with local governments, libraries, and schools to implement its programming and reach as many children as possible.
