Blown away by the stories from the amazing young women who immigrated to the US when they were younger. From working late hours after classes to repeating high school to attending college with no financial assistance, their words are beyond inspiring. Thank you.

Founder of @LIISA4EDU, @Osman_C1: “Parents are having their children taken away and they have no idea where they’re located. Over 600 children at the US-Mexico border. We need to start making calls. Call Congress. Call the White House. Call the @ACLU.”

Founder of @LIISA4EDU, @Osman_C1: “We’re seeing that fear of deportation again in our schools. I’m here to urge all of you to please join us and take action.”

[NE Queens For Action @NEQForAction]

Founder of @LIISA4EDU, @Osman_C1: “I came to school one day in 2006 and no one was there. The next day, I was told that immigration had been there and everyone was so afraid that they didn’t come in.”
