Kilmar’s case is an example of what could happen to all Black and brown people when individuals of the government place themselves above the law and defy court orders.

But let’s be clear: The bill is dead for the 2025 session, but not forever. So yes — we’re celebrating this win, but we’re staying ready for what comes next by continuing to build local power and organizing our communities to protect public education for all. 3/3

[TIRRC @tnimmigrant]

HB793 dead for 2025! This is a major victory — and it belongs to all the children, parents, educators, faith leaders, business owners, veterans, and partner organizations who stood up for education for all children. 1/3 #EducationForAll

[TIRRC @tnimmigrant]

Because of your calls, your emails, your stories, and your presence at the Capitol, you sent a message lawmakers couldn’t ignore: Every child deserves an education — no matter where they’re from. 2/3

While immigrant families are facing increased fear due to changing immigration policy, extreme lawmakers are doubling down on making life harder, including an unprecedented attack on public education.

We’ll keep fighting for a TN where everyone has the freedom to thrive & learn.

[TIRRC @tnimmigrant]

📚All children deserve the freedom to learn.

While lawmakers in TN are attempting to take that freedom away based on where students are from or who they are, you can take action to send a message loud & clear: public education belongs to all children.

[TIRRC @tnimmigrant]

Education is a cornerstone of opportunity and every child deserves the right to learn. 

That’s why we are launching Education For All TN, because together we can protect every student’s right to learn.

“We desperately need a Nashville where we see our city’s budget at work for the things that directly benefit us…Funding the Shift platform is funding the people,” Selah Torralba, @tnimmigrant advocacy coordinator. https://t.co/gHQNOAFYZL

[TIRRC @tnimmigrant]

An attack against one is an attack against all — it’s more important than ever for us to come together and fight for all of our rights, our freedoms, & our future. Our work is not done until white supremacy and anti-Blackness is fully eradicated in all communities & systems.

[TIRRC @tnimmigrant]

As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize the resiliency and growing power of Black communities across Tennessee. We also want to acknowledge the challenges and unique barriers Black immigrants face in the United States, and the U.S. immigration system. 🧵⬇️

From the Oval Office to our State Capitol, power-hungry politicians are using our communities as bargaining chips, putting politics over humanity, and trying to divide us by the language we speak, the color of our skin, or where we are from. Our fight is interconnected.
