LGBTQ+ immigrants face higher rates of violence, discrimination, and bias. We must create an asylum system that welcomes all and does not restrict asylum access.

PS
Performative solidarity for political gain is also antisemitism.

[Rabbi Joshua Lesser @rabbijosh]

Let's try this again, Kevin this time with the courage to include the long history in your own party.

It's true that the US has a long history of antisemitism. It'd be helpful if you challenged it, where you have some influence.

[Kevin McCarthy @SpeakerMcCarthy]

Several House Democrats have a long history of anti-semitic remarks. It is absolutely unacceptable. Anti-semitism has no place in the United States Congress. https://t.co/HXsYPDmyaS

No person should have to flee because of who they love or who they are. If they must flee, then we should #WelcomeWithDignity and create humane asylum policies and have national policies that honor LGBTQ+ lives. #PrideMonth

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we've put together this thread, to create awareness about micro-aggressions against the LGBTQIA+ community - which people don't realise are harmful #IDAHOBIT (1/7)

@alizawerner @LaurelSnyder Hi! I've been a bit silent on Twitter this past year in a whirlwind of life transitions. But hope to be back!

[Rabbi Joshua Lesser @rabbijosh]

I am humbled and grateful that I have some bold, loving and brave colleagues that have also embraced a gate-opening model of Judaism rather than the gate-keeping version many of us were trained to employ.

How we welcome is a reflection of who we are. The end of #Title42 should not lead to more punitive policies.

[Bridges Faith Initiative @bridges_fi]

Today, we should be celebrating the end of the racist and deadly #Title42 policy. However, @POTUS new asylum ban rule that will take effect at midnight leaves little room for celebration.

We must place dignity at the center of our immigration asylum policies.

We must create humane asylum processing with fair adjudications. Asylum is a human right.
