Our hearts go out to the family of #TyreNichols. #PoliceBrutality has repeatedly taken human lives. Reform is not enough. We need to dismantle this white supremacist system, and reimagine a restorative model that values people’s lives.

¿Qué significan las recientes decisiones sobre #DACA?

DACA está sujeto a cambios basados en órdenes de la corte o cambios en la política del gobierno federal.

El Congreso debe actuar AHORA para proteger a las personas beneficiarias de DACA y sus familias.
