If you had sharp eyes on Sunday night while watching the 2026 Golden Globes, you would've noticed that there was a hot new accessory on the red carpet. Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Natasha Lyonne, Jean Smart, Tessa Thompson, Bella Ramsey and more were all spotted wearing simple white pins emblazoned with the words "Be Good" at this year's Golden Globes awards.
The pins are part the #BeGood campaign, which is being launched by a grassroots coalition which includes the ACLU, Working Families Power, National Domestic Workers Alliance, Maremoto, MoveOn, and entertainment industry leaders. The name references Renee Good, the Minneapolis woman who was shot and killed by an ICE agent on January 7, and are meant to be a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Read on for more about the #BeGood campaign, started in her honor.
What is the purpose of the #BeGood campaign?
The campaign is designed to honor Renee Good and Keith Porter, both of whom were tragically killed by ICE agents in the past month. Their deaths have inspired outrage and protests across the country as communities contend with the presence of masked agents in their neighborhood and the current Trump administration's aggressive mass deportation policy.
The campaign is also using Good's last name as a call for citizens to be good citizens in face of the Trump administration's authoritarian tactics and policies against immigrant communities. It's also a call to continue to document abuse by law enforcement and to donate to fundraisers to organizations that are helping to keep immigrants safe.

What inspired this campaign?
Good, a 37-year-old U.S. mother, and writer was fatally shot by an ICE agent earlier last week during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. Her death, and the Trump administration's aggressive defense of the ICE agent who killed her, as well as the President's labeling of Good as part of a "leftwing network” trying “to incite violence,” has inspired a counter-movement that is raising up Good as a model of engaged citizenry.
What is Renee Good's wife sharing about her late partner's legacy?
Renee Good's wife, Becca Good, shared in a statement to Minnesota Pubic Radio that being "[kind to] strangers is the most fitting tribute [to her wife] because if you ever encountered [her] . . . you know that above all else, she was kind."
"We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love," she also shared.
Why does this campaign matter?
The #BeGood campaign comes in the wake of 2025 being one of ICE’s deadliest years in two decades and administration’s $100 million recruitment campaign seeking to expand the agency's enforcement capacity.
As the country mourns the tragic loss of Good and Porter, people are also coming together to protect their neighbors and push back against ICE"s aggressive encroachment into communities across the country.
