The Creative Enterprise Zone is deeply disturbed by the raid at Bro-Tex, a longtime business in our area. Immigrant workers are essential to the creative, entrepreneurial, and industrial fabric of this neighborhood and our region.
We stand with our neighbors and remain committed to a community where everyone feels safe, respected, and able to thrive.
