IF YOU ARE NOT A U.S. CITIZEN - DO NOT USE MARIJUANA.
Though MN’s new recreational cannabis law goes into effect today, immigrants who aren't yet U.S. citizens and live in states that decriminalize cannabis still should not partake like other adults who are U.S. citizens.

Learn how to obtain detention records, the types of detention requests you can obtain

from government agencies, what to expect after requesting and other invaluable information. Most importantly, if you were mistreated and abused while in detention, these records can be used as evidence.

We’ve been waiting since 2003 for the legislature to restore Drivers License’s for everyone in our community. This is the year to get it done.

Thx @RepAishaGomez & @ZaynabMMohamed for carrying the bill.

[Black Immigrant Collective @mnbictweets]

This is not a political issue -- this is a family and quality of life issue. Passing this legislation is long overdue and our community is counting on the lawmakers in the capitol to do right by our community.

[Black Immigrant Collective @mnbictweets]

This morning @AbenaAbraham testified on behalf of Black immigrants at the Mn House Public Safety Finance & Policy Committee on restoring Drivers Licenses to undocumented immigrants.

We support drivers license for all!

[Black Immigrant Collective @mnbictweets]

It is important that access to Driver’s Licenses is reinstated for undocumented immigrants in Minnesota. For the past twenty years, we have been used as political chess pieces, and we say NO MORE! The time is NOW!

[Black Immigrant Collective @mnbictweets]

We agree Congresswoman! Immigrant justice without addressing anti-Blackness isn’t justice for anyone.

[Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley @RepPressley]

It’s time to root out the anti-Blackness embedded in our immigration system.

And we need an immediate moratorium on deportations. There was a moratorium on deportations of Ukranians within hours of the UkrNi e TPS designation. We need the same deportations moratorium for people from Black countries with TPS designation.

[BAJI @BAJItweet]

We see that Biden is lobbying to send 6 billion dollars in aid to a Eurocentric warzone, Black people experiencing US-backed wars will settle for no more bombs. 🧵👇🏿

Black migrant organizations continue to have their efforts hampered by philanthropy’s underinvestment.

#BlackMigrantPowerFund calls on donors to raise $10 million to give to Black-led, grassroots organizations fighting for immigrant & racial justice.
