Fighting Youth Shouting out for Humanity

Youth-led organizing and social justice council at @HANACenter. We fight for immigrant justice for all. No exceptions.

@KamalaHarris @VP just two years ago, you said that undocumented immigrants “should not be deported,” but many families live in fear of deportation. We need you to stand by your words and commit to passing #Citizenship4All through budget reconciliation! #NoCitizenshipNoBudget

📢MONDAY, June 14th, say NO to more buildings to be torn down in Altgeld Gardens by attending @PCR_Chicago1979's Press Conference @ 10:00am, C Building, 839 East 132nd Street. We need to restore this building into a vocational training center for the Far Southside communities.

We support the THRIVE Agenda partly because it creates new, green jobs and provides a roadmap to a green recovery plan that addresses our climate crisis!

The pandemic🦠 monumentally strained already-existing inequalities affecting Black & Brown communities🏘. We need a MONUMENTAL recovery package🎁 that addresses these growing needs! We need laws that will help undo DECADES of anti-Black policies #TimeToTHRIVE #ILRecoveryNow 🌱🌻

Did you know that Black neighborhoods in Chicago that were redlined in the 1900s face hotter climates because of lack of green investments? 🧵👇🏽

We need laws that will put green investments in Black neighborhoods to undue the decades of racist policies. #TimeToThrive #ILRecoveryNow

Did you know that Black neighborhoods in Chicago that were redlined in the 1900s currently face hotter climates because of lack of green investments? THREAD (1/3):

[Fighting Youth Shouting out for Humanity @FYSHChicago]

Black neighborhoods that were redlined have far fewer trees, which help to cool the air around them, in comparison with white neighborhoods. This is the result of decades of disinvestment. (2/3)
