In exchange for Ukraine funding, Republicans are demanding the most exclusionary immigration legislation since racial quota laws of the 1920s.

We must say no. No to Trump-era anti-immigrant policies. No to destroying the asylum system. No trading immigrant lives for foreign aid.

Hilario shared this picture from Coachella CA where the high temp was expected to reach 117° on this day. Farm workers must wear protective coveralls when spraying pesticides on the palm trees which makes it even hotter. Stay safe and hydrated. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

My reaction to the outcome of the #ParisSummit for a #NewGlobalFinancingPact

"While the roadmap from the Paris Summit acknowledges the urgency for substantial financial resources to bolster climate action, it leans too heavily on private investments and ascribes an outsized role to multilateral development banks.

"In doing so, it overlooks the pivotal role that public finance must play in driving policy transformation, stimulating research and development, and investing in green infrastructure to mobilize trillions of dollars. Private investments often neglect adaptation efforts in developing countries and are inadequate to address climate-induced loss and damage.

"Wealthier nations bear the responsibility of urgently funnelling significant public finance towards vulnerable countries, a move that will aid them in weathering the escalating impacts of climate change and bolster their resilience. This is at the core of climate justice."

Contrast governments’ response to rescue the 5 in submersible vs rescue of hundreds of migrants and refugees in overcrowded boats as they seek safety. #migrants #refugees

Border closures, militarisation during the pandemic seriously affected migrants and are undeniably gendered.

Clearly the roughly 150 people #IMRF side event get what gender-responsive means! So not about protecting “vulnerable women” but recalibrating systems toward achieving equality, equity & justice so that women & LGBTIQ+ migrants are not pushed into vulnerable situations @CanadaUN

[DC @costadaniel]

This is the best analysis and commentary you'll find on labor migration and implementation of commitments in the Global Compact for Migration - which governments are discussing this week at the @UN International Migration Review Forum.

1/5 "Gender-responsive promise of the GCM will only be possible if women’s human rights, (and) international labour standards…are fully incorporated into all national, regional and global migration policy." Today we are farther from those goals. WIMN statement. #Migration2022

Us Sec of State Anthony Blinken @IMRF_ making lots of promises to support human rights and advance humane immigration. “It’s an issue close to our hearts”. Guess we’ll see. He forgot to mention deportations and militarized borders.

On #InternationalMigrantsDay, we’re calling on @POTUS to treat Indigenous, Black, and all migrants with respect and dignity. #RestoreAsylumNow #WelcomeWithDignity #4RightsatBorders

[Women in Migration Network @WomenMigration]

We’ve heard a lot about the climate crisis and its consequences. But its impact on migrant women, girls, gender diverse & LGBTI+ people is often left out. We must lift their voices & follow their leadership!
