We are advocating for continued funding in the 2024-25 budget to ensure that CHIRP is allowed to continue, and that unaccompanied children receive trauma informed care and guidance along with legal support. Take action to support CHIRP here ➡️ https://t.co/kvU9EYjDfm
Unaccompanied children often experience layers of significant hardships that begin with exposure to trauma in early childhood. This hardship is compounded as they navigate their immigration cases while dealing with issues related to housing, schooling, and health care. #SaveChirp

@CAgovernor, CHIRP is a first-of-its-kind program that benefits the well-being of recently arrived children in CA and can serve as a model on how to welcome and responsibly support unaccompanied immigrant children into their communities. https://t.co/KfIdS1k7XW
The Children’s Holistic Immigration Representation Project (CHIRP) provides integrated social & legal services to unaccompanied immigrant children in California, but the program is under threat. Join us in calling on @CAgovernor to renew CHIRP ➡️ https://t.co/6VCIBwAwDT
Spent this morning visiting a shelter for Ukrainian refugees in Tijuana.
Spent the afternoon at a shelter @ImmDef visits regularly to provide legal services to mostly Haitian & Central American families.
The differences between the two are stark and soul-shattering. 🧵
🧵1/9 This #EarthDay, we highlight the environmental impacts of immigration detention. Similar to people in prisons & jails, immigrants in detention endure inhumane environmental conditions, facing exposure to areas deemed toxic #PrisonsAreToxic#CommunitiesNotCages
Good morning. Hawai’i is under a military occupation. The Navy’s 80 year old fuel tanks have spilled jet fuel into the water supply for the 3rd time in 12 months. They do not respect life on Oahu more than their greed for global imperialism. Please tell 1 person this story today.
Thanks dj. This 1995 when I first landed , head wrapped, in Black Ft Green Brooklyn. My 1st open Mic. Didn’t know nobody. Had just been signed to KEDAR / universal. Didn’t tell nobody till my album dropped 2 years later. Vegetarian recluse. Was working on myself heavy. Focused.
If he is genuine about the love and care he asks Californians to extend to each other during COVID-19, @GavinNewsom must grant #MassReleasesNow and #StopTransfers between ICE and @CACorrections prisons, where social distancing is impossible and lives are being neglected
If we can understand that the calls to abolish Ice actually means that this country needs a new, transformational immigration system, then why dismiss police abolition as a viable option for a transformative society?

The fact that Gregory and Travis McMichael and William Bryan felt so in their power to carry out this atrocious murder means they've likely terrorized others (and filmed it) before #AhmaudArbery https://t.co/5zwnvBLkxi
COVID-19 is being used as an excuse to expand the use of VTC for children's deportation proceedings. Children as young as 2yrs old appear through glitchy video and unreliable audio for a judge to determine their fate. https://t.co/tk05y7AYCl
