NEW: @GlobalRefuge responds to the newly released bipartisan immigration legislation.

While bipartisanship requires political compromise, it does not require compromising our nation’s core values.

LIRS is now @GlobalRefuge! 🌎

Our decision to rebrand is rooted in the growing worldwide need for a compassionate response to those seeking safety. With more than 100 million people displaced, we knew we needed to build a bigger table of supporters.

@leahanelson Truth.

[Alabama Appleseed @AlaAppleseed]

Thanks to @JohnArchibald for telling this story. Thanks to Appleseed Navigator Callie Greer & Research Director @leahanelson for sharing the impact & devastating effects of fines & fees. The cost of having no money is high but as Callie says “It’s always darkest before the dawn.”

@leahanelson Love it

We are officially ONE vote away from ending debt-based driver’s license suspensions in Alabama & there are only FOUR days remaining in the legislative session. Contact your lawmaker again! We are so close to the finish line with this crucial legislation. https://t.co/ETyZQ2SVrI

Research Director @leahanelson comments that Jones “is just a symptom of the problem. As long as criminal justice policy and tax policy is intertwined, we’ll see versions of Brookside pop up. We need policy reform.” https://t.co/gWixMLrNCm

Appleseed’s Research Director @leahanelson interviewed on @TheLeadCNN about Brookside’s policing for profit

[Leah Nelson @leahanelson]

Fiscal analysis from @PeterAJones07 tells us Alabama's policy of suspending drivers’ licenses for debt-related reasons costs $804.86 in tax revenue per suspended license.

We can end this senseless & unsound policy. More below from @ALDailyNews 👇

[The Mehdi Hasan Show @MehdiHasanShow]

New reporting details how the tiny town of Brookside, AL doubled its revenues with aggressive policing. The impact of "policing-for-profit schemes" on "low-wealth people across this state is devastating," Carla Crowder from @AlaAppleseed explains to @MehdiRHasan

Proof that comments matter! Take a moment today to submit a comment against Alabama #Medicaid's catch-22 plan to take health coverage away from thousands of parents living in deep poverty: https://t.co/iA5n33zJaV #alpolitics

[Robyn Hyden @robynhyden]

Why does Alabama need tax reform? Because sales taxes are too high, property taxes are too low, and the people who can least afford it pay the most. We need to join the rest of the US and #untaxgroceries. #alpolitics https://t.co/AFIUwOb7oh

[Amee Vanderpool @girlsreallyrule]

Apparently, ICE is telling callers about #WhereAreTheChildren that they don't handle children (not true) and that the missing 1,500 kids are "fake news"(also not true)-also the amount of Trumper Trolls on this hashtag is nuts, so it looks like the WH is scared. KEEP GOING.

Hey Alabama, June 5 primary is soon. Some reminders:

1. Tomorrow is the last chance to register to vote in the primary.

2. Be sure your friends and family know the date of the primary and where to vote.

3. Put June 5 on your calendar.
