Want to teach migrants about their rights in this trash system while dragging DHS to a cage fight match in federal court 2-3 times a yr? Do you wake up most mornings wanting to #BurnItAllDown? @AlOtroLado_Org's Border Rights Project seeks a staff attorney. ideali.st/jzsQEk
This job is not for everyone. Nothing about it is basic. But is important because the right to freedom, to be free of persecution, is one that belongs to all of us. Yet it is also a right that is under attack at the US-Mexico border.
Be prepared to have your heart break & for some weeks to feel like you're being repeatedly punched in the face. Be prepared to confront nationalism & racism in our immigration courts & among federal officers charged w/ upholding US federal law. Be prepared to fight @ every moment
You could have many other jobs where you would make more money while enjoying more happy days than sad. But there is no replacing the feeling of prison doors opening, of phone calls from reunited families, of knowing another human being is free & safe because you fought.
& I'd be remiss not to mention the joy of being on a team working to expose DHS's lies & misdeeds, dragging them into the light like a kicking screaming child on the 1st day of school. Because someone's got teach these fools right from wrong & that some lines you just can't cross
