Stars Sparkle with a Message at Golden Globes

The Golden Globes, known for glitz and glamour, took a political turn this year.

Stars Make a Statement

Stars like Mark Ruffalo stepped onto the red carpet wearing pins that said "BE GOOD" and "ICE OUT." These pins were a tribute to Renee Good, who was shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis. This wasn't just about fashion; it was a statement.

Protests and Demands for Justice

Protests have been happening all over the country since Good's death. People are demanding justice, not just for her, but for others too, like Keith Porter, who was shot by an off-duty ICE officer in Los Angeles. The Trump administration says the officers were acting in self-defense, but many aren't convinced.

The Origin of the Pins

The idea for these pins came from a late-night text between Nelini Stamp and Jess Morales Rocketto. They wanted to use the Golden Globes to bring attention to ICE's actions. It's not the first time celebrities have used their platform to speak up. Remember Marlon Brando's protest at the Oscars in 1973? That's the kind of tradition they're continuing.

Grassroots Effort

Stamp and Morales Rocketto reached out to celebrities they knew, who then spread the word. They even handed out pins at parties leading up to the Golden Globes. It's a grassroots effort, with people passing pins around like party favors. The goal? To keep the names of Good and others in the public eye throughout awards season.

Beyond the Red Carpet

But is this enough? Will pins at an awards show really make a difference? It's a start, but the fight for justice goes beyond a red carpet. It's about keeping the conversation going, pushing for change, and not letting these names be forgotten.
