Thank you! We love you, #PoorPeoplesCampaign Family! It was 3 years ago today we blocked traffic in the streets in front of capitol buildings across the country. Hundreds were arrested. Together we launched the #40DaysOfAction that built our movement!

In 2018, the #PoorPeoplesCampaign launched w/ #40DaysOfAction & nonviolent civil disobedience. More than 5000 people were arrested trying to deliver their demands to 25 state capitols & in our nation’s capitol. A stark contrast to what we saw on #January6: https://t.co/JZOo0mSJGO

#40DaysOfAction Many who arrived without documents don't have an option to apply for citizenship & can be required to leave for 10yrs. Even then, they may never be allowed to re-enter, even with a US citizen spouse and children. Ending the “Permanent Bar” would free many families

#40DaysOfAction 2017: most undocumented ppl weren't a priority for deportation & got permission to stay based on family, job & community involvement. Today few get permission to stay, ask the House Judiciary Committee, with ICE oversight, to do their job. https://t.co/jlk4k4xRPt
"I'm a Mum, I have 2 teenage boys & I run a business. I don't want to be here protesting, but I have no option, we cannot stop until we stop extracting #FossilFuels."
