Rather than being met with the compassion he deserves, ICE has ripped him from his home, his loved ones, and inflicted more trauma in our communities.

I stand with Paul’s family, friends, & entire #MA7 in demanding his release & putting an end to these shameful ICE detentions.

Paul Dama's detention is devastating & unnecessary, and his absence is already felt in the #MA7.

Whether welcoming neighbors to Suya Joint or helping folks with developmental disabilities lead healthy, dignified lives, his contributions to our community are immensely meaningful.
