Trafficking survivors need immigration relief to rebuild their lives. There is a cap of 5,000 T-visas available each year for #traffickingsurvivors. The U.S. has never reached that cap. If @USCIS fails to reach the 5,000 cap, the T-visas will be lost forever. #SurvivorsCannotWait

The message near the Bayside Trail says, “I’m so ignorant to think we’d make it out of this thing TOGETHER…or alive.” This just scratches the surface of the despair we all feel knowing there is no ready, short-term solution for unsheltered people here https://t.co/W9Qj93Ydlf
