“What do you mean archiving your Twitter account?”

We will not be deleting our account, rather archiving it, so that all of the valuable resources we’ve shared can still be searched and dispersed by users here as needed.

If the app ever gets its spark back — we’ll be here!

Figure out when public comment is in your city — show up, keep your local gov’t WORKING.

If you donate, call your Congressional rep to let them know your support depends on their handling of this issue.

“While they’re negotiating and they’re paying attention to this issue, it’s really important for them to hear what their constituents care about in terms of DHS funding”

Experts say the time to express disdain to your electeds over ICE is NOW👇🏽 https://t.co/jVzSr6yraf
