National Women's History Month

Women and children fleeing violence, persecution, and injustice face immense barriers in seeking safety. From forced marriages to domestic violence, human trafficking, and detention threats, their fight for asylum is often an uphill battle. The Flores Settlement Agreement set vital protections for migrant children, but shifting policies continue to put them at risk. This Women’s History Month, we honor the resilience of those who paved the way for progress and call for urgent reforms to protect the most vulnerable.

Black History Month: Learning from History

As we close out Black History Month, it’s worth asking: Are we just remembering history, or are we learning from it? The fight for justice isn’t locked in the past—it’s alive today, woven into the struggles of people fighting for their dignity, rights, and a fair shot at life.

At Luminus, we recognize that the battles against racism and anti-immigrant hate are deeply connected. These struggles aren’t just about individuals—they’re about systems built to divide and control.

Diversity is something to celebrate

At Luminus, we believe Howard County’s diverse population is something to celebrate. Regardless of who occupies the White House, we will not allow a culture of mistrust, fear, and division to take root—one that prevents our neighbors from accessing essential public resources like healthcare, education, and safety.
