They tried to weaponize the #2020Census by adding an untested and unnecessary citizenship question. They tried to consolidate GOP power and a whiter electorate. They tried to manipulate our democracy.

They lost – but the fight isn't over. We MUST rise up and be counted in 2020.

Regarding the addition of the citizenship question to the #2020Census, AOC demands answers for why the government has ignored procedures for something so significant.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

.@AOC fired up on the census citizenship question: "I want to know why we have skipped every normal, mandated procedure in testing how this question gets added in the census ... I want to know about corruption, I want to know about the racism."

My parents were undocumented for 14 years. Today they will be taking their US Citizenship test, please send them good vibes and prayers 🙏🏽

Josh Cayetano, from the SOS team, is urging us to honestly look at the injustices in our backyard and take action. We can’t move towards justice if we turn away from the suffering of those in our communities.

Inclusivity is a two-way street.

We agree! @ericpliu @AspenInstitute
Providing new Americans with a platform to get more civically engaged and ensuring a two-way approach is what will make communities stronger.

[Aspen Inst Citizenship & American Identity @AspenCitizen]

“New Americans should know that it has become both more challenging and more necessary in the current climate of fear to ensure that immigrant voices are heard in civic life.” Read more in our newly released report here: https://t.co/9Z7IYevwpM #WEASK

The beautiful thing about being a citizen is that there are *many* ways to stay involved. Progress isn't just about the fastest or loudest voice--it is about shifting attitudes & building long-term relationships across diverse boundaries. Let's work together #studentsofsalaam.

We've been hard at work all summer on Yale's campus, and have been lucky to meet with @MigrationPolicy as we build out our new curriculum. Our @Princeton branch is growing, and we will soon head to @sfgov. Want to be involved? Let us know how you think you can help!

[Students Of Salaam @StudentsoSalaam]

@joycenewstat we hope to come to SF soon, and would love to meet with you!

@npr_radio 's 2017 profile on ELLs = a must read.

"Based on the most recent data available, NPR found that no matter where they go to school, most ELLs are struggling because they have little or no access to quality instruction tailored to their needs."

A refugee child evacuated from Libya to Niger made this drawing. He could have been among the 220 people who drowned in the Mediterranean today. Let’s give more children safe pathways out of despair.
