Stars Shine With Purpose: 'Ice Out' And 'Be Good' Pins At The 2026 Golden Globes

The Golden Globes Go Beyond Glamour with a Cause

The 2026 Golden Globes, usually a night of glitz and glamour, took on a more profound tone this year. Hollywood A-listers donned pins reading 'ICE Out' and 'Be Good' on their designer outfits, honoring Renée Nicole Good, a Minneapolis mom, and Keith Porter Jr., a Los Angeles father. The duo's tragic deaths at the hands of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have brought attention to a pressing national crisis.

Renée, a 37-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE officer, while Keith, a 43-year-old father of two, lost his life to an off-duty ICE agent on New Year's Eve in LA. Their stories have sparked nationwide conversations about ICE's use of force, with celebrities using their platform to amplify this urgent issue.

“We need every part of civil society, society to speak up. We need our artists. We need our entertainers. We need the folks who reflect society,” said Nelini Stamp of Working Families Power.

Red Carpet Solidarity

This year's red carpet wasn't just a showcase of fashion but also a statement of unity and advocacy. Stars like Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Natasha Lyonne, Jean Smart, and Ariana Grande were seen wearing the meaningful pins. Ruffalo, who was nominated for Best Male Actor – Television Drama for 'Task,' sported the 'ICE Out' pin, alongside his wife, Sunrise Coigney.

Inside the venue, Ariana Grande proudly displayed her 'ICE Out' pin while posing with fellow celebrities. Meanwhile, Jean Smart's pin was prominently featured as she accepted her award for Best Actress in a Television Series, Musical or Comedy.

A Movement with Impact

The #BeGood campaign, supported by the ACLU, MoveOn, and other advocacy groups, was orchestrated by a team of entertainment industry pros. The campaign's goal is not only to honor Renée and Keith but also to remind everyone of the fundamental values of kindness and humanity amidst adversity.

As Jess Morales Rocketto, executive director of the advocacy group Maremoto, noted, the initiative is grassroots at its core: "They put it in their purse, and they’re like, ‘Hey, would you wear this?’” The movement aims to keep the momentum going throughout the awards season, encouraging more public figures to participate and speak out.

With the world watching, the Golden Globes proved that Hollywood can use its influential spotlight to shine a light on critical social issues, urging us all to be active participants in change.
