TODAY’S SOUTHWEST SIDE OPERATION SHOWS: I.C.E. IS A VIOLENT FORCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES!

Joint statement from the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, @BPNCchicago, and the Southwest Rapid Response team.

[Chicago Federation of Labor @chicagolabor]

We stand united in fighting back against Trump's threats to Chicago and our communities.

[IL Immigrant Rights @icirr]

We stand united with @PersonalPAC, @SierraClubIL, @EqualityILL, and @chicagolabor against these cuts and urge the Senate to reject them. (2/2)

[IL Immigrant Rights @icirr]

The devastating cuts in the GOP tax bill are an attack on workers, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, reproductive rights, healthcare, clean energy jobs, and the environment in IL and beyond. (1/2)

[NewAmericansCampaign @newamericans]

As the Trump admin ramps up "social media vetting for anti-Americanism," more immigrants are choosing to become U.S. citizens.

Our partners at @icirr say citizenship apps are ticking up as "people want to protect themselves in case anything happens."

Yesterday ICIRR joined 35,000 people in the streets of Chicago to commemorate #MayDay and fight back against Trump’s fascist agenda! ✊🏼 The Trump administration feeds off our fear, and yesterday our communities showed that we are not afraid of their threats -
