With a Texas judge's ruling on the legality of DACA expected any day now, it's clear that the only way to provide stability for immigrant youth is for Congress to deliver a pathway to citizenship.

Email your reps & tell them that the time to act is NOW ⤵️

The tragedies in TX compound + our message remains —

How we recklessly treat the lives of those we “other” + marginalize is a DIRECT result of the same politicians + propaganda machines that spend hours dehumanizing the lives of people seeking a better life.

There are 89.3 million forcibly displaced people living in the world today. Many of them are #refugees. Some of them are #asylum seekers. Both are in need of safety and protection.
Let's Redefine, Reengage, and #RecommitToRefugees.

[𝗔𝗙𝗦𝗖 𝗙𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗗𝗔 @AFSCFL]

For months we have organized from Florida, the community, politicians, and the media to get the attention of @POTUS administration and request a Redesignation of the #TPS to Nicaragua
We cannot fail to organize it to happen!

🔊 Content Warning (CW)//Trigger Warning(TW): Mention of child abuse, child neglect, sexual assault, child detention, violence against children

The cruel and inhumane policy of detaining children did not end with Trump.

@POTUS cages children too ‼️ 🧵

It's Tax Day!

A reminder that undocumented immigrants and their households pay billions in federal, state and local taxes every year.

This money helps fund programs for the rest of us such as Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. #TaxDay

[NPNA @npnewamericans]

Big news for immigrant rights! #DACA recipients will be able to enroll in healthcare coverage through #ACA marketplace and #Medicaid. Let's keep pushing for healthcare and citizenship for all.

This National Travel Advisory was issued today by several national immigrant rights organizations
We must unite with one another against these malicious and targeted attacks on immigrant communities.

What happens in #Texas has far-reaching implications for the rest of the country. #HB20 is an extreme bill that would allow roaming vigilantes to be deputized, prosecute and arrest migrants seeking safety on our border. Communities deserve better! #NOtoHB20 @DadePhelan

[America's Voice @AmericasVoice]

The Biden Administration's asylum appointment app is not working for refugees.

"For many migrants, though, the app has brought not order but cruelty dressed up as technical incompetence."

A few reminders this tax season:
1. Immigrants—regardless of immigration status—pay taxes.
2. In fact, undocumented immigrants pay BILLIONS in local, state & federal taxes every year.
3. And yet, they cannot access the critical gov’t programs their taxes fund.
