Our smallest rally tomorrow is likely to be in North Dakota. Antler has a population of 27. #FamiliesBelongTogether
In 47 states, we have more than one event (and usually a LOT of events). The places with one event are Rhode Island, Puerto Rico and DC. #FamiliesBelongTogether
One of our biggest events is likely to be Los Angeles, CA. Is @chrissyteigen coming, too???? #FamiliesBelongTogether
Sioux City, IA went 82% for Trump, but no worries, they have a #FamiliesBelongTogether rally: act.moveon.org/event/families…

During the #MuslimTravelBan airport protests, I remember organizing and wondering to myself, I've never known a moment like this in America. I wondered if a moment like this was even possible. #FamiliesBelongTogether
That night was amazing. Remember that night? It looked like this. It was a great moment in America. #MuslimTravelBan #FamiliesBelongTogether
I don't think I'll sleep tonight. But if I do, I will dream of the single largest protest for immigrants in the history of our country. I think we can do it: familiesbelongtogether.org #FamiliesBelongTogether

I am extremely grumpy this morning so figured I would do some tweeting about staff diversity on presidential campaigns and potential senior staff in 2020. (What could go wrong?) (1/many)
The idea that presidential campaigns will become diverse on their own is ridiculous. 2020 races reflect the larger world in which they live and thus are not without racism, prejudice, unconscious bais, and discrimination.
A diverse campaign happens because the candidate and campaign manager make clear to senior staff who then build that commitment at every level of an org. Requires relentless pursuit of a goal of diversity over years of time and a truly ridiculous hiring pace.

THREAD: Let's say you haven't been following everything #KavanaughHearings related. Here's what you need to know: this guy is a liar and under no circumstances should he be a Supreme Court Justice.
Let me break this down because it's actually kind of astonishing the lengths Kavanaugh and Republicans have gone to conceal how right wing this guy really is. #StopKavanaugh
Republican fought to conceal secret emails that reveal his true feelings on #RoevWade. And how *does* he really feel about Roe? He believes the Supreme Court can overturn it. #StopKavanaugh

Are you confused about #WhereAreTheChildren? Of course you are. Your friendly immigrants’ rights advocate (reporting to you from vacation because the kids are counting on us to get this right). (THREAD)
“Did the government lose 1500 children that are now missing?”

...sort of. 1500 of the 7000 children who came here alone, mostly from Central America, are “missing” because the government couldn’t find them after they attempted to get in touch with them: pbs.org/wgbh/frontline…
“Ok. But #WhereAreTheChildren? Are they safe?”

We don’t know.

Some ran away, some didn’t pick up the phone at their last known number. Some likely ended up in human trafficking. Some likely reunited with their families. We may never track them down.

(THREAD) I think it is more insidious than that. I had a 3 hour conversation with a Trump supporter who showed up at the #FamiliesBelongTogether rally in Ft. Wayne yesterday. Two of us drew him away from the rally to prevent an incident and we eventually went out for pizza.
He gave us the "illegal immigrants" and "permanently separated" talking points from Fox News/Trump. The two of us from the rally checked him with facts. We kept talking and kept it civil. We asked questions and listened to his answers. It dawned on me that we agreed frequently.
I suggested we all go to a local pizza Parlor (@PintandSlice if you're in the Fort, highly recommended). Over the meal (because the two of us were at the rally all day and had gotten hungry), we were talking about all kinds of political points and then sharing stories.

Some 30,000 people took part in the #familiesbelongtogether march in Washington, D.C. on June 30, 2018. Protesters demanded that the Trump administration reunite immigrant families and end family separations at the border. 📷 @TheAPJournalist
12-year-old Leah, the daughter of undocumented immigrant parents, struggled to hold back tears at the #FamiliesBelongTogether D.C. rally: “I live with the constant fear of losing my mom to deportation... I don't like to live with this fear.”

Every one of these dots represents a protest against family separation tomorrow. Yeah. There are a lot of dots.

There's a march within driving distance of you. Find it. Sign up. Recruit friends. Fill your car.

This is the part where we show up & FIGHT.

familiesbelongtogether.org
Tomorrow, I and tens of thousands of other people will be in DC, demonstrating at the White House and then marching to the Department of Justice.
facebook.com/events/4018159…

My favorite dot, though, might be this one. Antler, North Dakota. Population: 27.

act.moveon.org/event/families…
Zoom out. Protests in Alaska. Protests in Hawaii. Protests in Puerto Rico.
