Every day, we fight for ALL immigrants because they're not numbers; they are people.

No status, background, or other characteristic defines their humanity. Their value isn't earned but inherent.

And it demands dignity, protection, & justice.

People matter beyond their ability to generate profit.

Every immigrant family has the right to live without fear, have their rights defended, and build a life of dignity, peace, and security.

Regardless of where they work or how much money they generate for the economy.

ICE repeatedly punch father of 3 U.S. Marines—2 in active service.

Masked agent dislocated his left shoulder—even briefly taking gun out of holster with other hand.

"I love serving my country... just infuriates us that our own country did this to our own people," said son.

Narciso Barranco was landscaping an IHOP parking lot in Santa Ana, California.

"They just started chasing him, and he ran because he was scared. He didn’t know who was after him," explained his son.

"I do believe my father was racially profiled, they didn’t ask him anything."

It's World Refugee Day! We're proud to stand in solidarity with all people seeking safety and a better life.

Juneteenth marks the end of slavery and honors generations of Black Americans who’ve fought for justice and dignity.

Freedom isn’t given — it’s won. We stand in solidarity with that fight.

We're deeply concerned by the U.S. v. Skrmetti decision. We believe in the fundamental rights to equality, dignity, and access to care for all people.

That includes transgender youth, who need support now more than ever. Gender-affirming care saves lives.

What we mean when we say that due process has to apply to everyone in order to protect anyone.

So many are waiting.
For safety. For justice.
For the chance to come home.

Every day, we fight for a world where no one faces this system alone.

Where justice belongs to everyone.

As a Memphian and an American, do you feel safer seeing this? Do you believe federal law enforcement is truly keeping the peace—or that our community is safer with ICE agents violently snatching people without accountability?

We certainly don't.

This isn’t a targeted ad.
It’s a reminder:
Solidarity with refugees is the right choice. #WorldRefugeeDay

We must not stay silent. No matter the month, LGBT rights are human rights. #Pride

[Advocates for Immigrant Rights @_AIRLegal_]

Over the past several days, we've all been gripped by what we’re seeing in LA. People across the U.S. have had enough! Dissent takes different forms & we're as committed as ever to pushing back against ICE and pushing forward towards a stronger, safer, more humane world for all.
