🧵👇🏾 Immigrants have organized before to stop deportations, reunite families & fight for the DREAM Act.

Now, we're at it again - bc we know the U.S. can be a better place for all if we fight for migrant justice together. #DontLookAway

We've seen first hand how immigrant communities ravaged by #COVID19, have suffered both emotional & economic losses as the disease has disproportionately impacted POC.

And we're here to tell you we 👏🏾 can 👏🏾 no 👏🏾 longer 👏🏾look 👏🏾 away. 👏🏾

.@CBP separated 6,000+ “family units” between April 19, 2018 & Aug 15, 2018, according to a report published by @amnestyusa.

And right now, entire families are STILL detained in @ICEgov custody as the agency refuses to #FreeThemAll amidst the pandemic.

#DACA & immigrant youth continue to be under attack, and the U.S. asylum system as we knew it, lays in shambles.

The basic human rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers are on the line and many of them will have no say.

The results of the 2020 elections will determine who advocates for Migrant Justice at every level of gov’t in the upcoming years.

It's crucial to get/stay involved & make your voices heard, whether it be marching in the streets, calling your reps or ensuring your vote counts.

That's why we'll be there every step of the way - reminding you of voter registration deadlines, safety precautions for getting to the polls & instructions on how to send in your absentee ballots.
