Why is ⁦@CT_PURA⁩ forcing cable companies to use non-union contractors? Proud to represent ⁦@CWA1298⁩ in this fight. ⁦@WiracYls⁩ https://t.co/1CbOQQ7CTN

[WIRAC_YLS @WiracYls]

Today our client @CWA1298 filed a petition to stop @CT_PURA from sending union jobs to private contractors. #CWA #UnionStrong

So proud of our @WiracYls clinic team - huge congrats to Ben and Charlotte for representing our client in oral argument in the 2nd Circuit today!

Alondra and many other unaccompanied children are courageously speaking about labor violations. WIRAC is grateful to support them in receiving necessary immigration relief alongside our clients, @justice_work

BREAKING: Today in our #DACA lawsuit with @MaketheRoadNY and @WiracYls, the court declined to provide relief to our plaintiffs, nearly 100k first-time DACA applicants whose applications are in limbo and DACA recipients applying to renew their status after a year or more lapse.

[WIRAC_YLS @WiracYls]

The result is deeply disappointing not only to our class members, but also to their loved ones and the communities they belong to. We will continue fighting on behalf of our immigrant communities who need permanent relief from Congress.

Recalling former workers is essential for racial justice. Let's pass worker recall legislation in Connecticut! https://t.co/OXAlG18bbd

[WIRAC_YLS @WiracYls]

The pandemic has left many people unemployed, especially Black and brown workers. Worker recall can help restore jobs, benefit employers, and jumpstart the economy. Let’s rebuild CT - pass worker recall legislation!

[Teresa Ghilarducci @tghilarducci]

We need new laws for workers — Worker recall could aid economic recovery https://t.co/9l8GzEJvj2 via @ConnPost

At today's federal court hearing in our #DACA class action suit, the court ordered the government to issue new Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) to the ~65,800 people wrongfully given 1-year cards, and *at no cost* to recipients. More updates soon: https://t.co/PBVPtDxuoi

LISTEN: Professor @MsolOG and Medha Swaminathan ’22 spoke to @wnpr about the latest court win by @WiracYls that resulted in the full restoration of #DACA to its pre-2017 form. https://t.co/nY74Od20wT

[Camilo Montoya-Galvez @camiloreports]

BREAKING — Judge orders full restoration of DACA, opening immigration program to new applicants for first time since 2017

One million undocumented immigrant teens and young adults who qualify for DACA on paper could benefit from today's order. @CBSNews.

Immigrant youth at orgs like @UNITEDWEDREAM, @MaketheRoadNY, and @CASAforall have been fighting the Trump Administration's heartless attacks for years. Like all of the victories in this case, this is their win. #HomeisHere

[WIRAC_YLS @WiracYls]

BREAKING: our #DACA lawsuit with @NILC and @MaketheRoadNY resulted in a court order today that restores DACA to its original state before the Trump Admin's attacks began in 2017. New apps are being accepted, current recipients can keep renewing & now access advance parole again.

[National Immigration Law Center @NILC]

@MaketheRoadNY @WiracYls The Court today set aside Chad Wolf’s July 2020 memo. This means the government must:
1️⃣ Reopen the #DACA program to first-time applicants,
2️⃣ Return the period of protections to two years
3️⃣ Make Advanced Parole available to DACA recipients again without restrictions.

[National Immigration Law Center @NILC]

BREAKING: VICTORY in the courts for #DACA! Today the Eastern District of New York ruled in our case with @MaketheRoadNY and @WiracYls to undo the harm of the Trump administration’s latest attacks on DACA. Here’s what you need to know 👇
