Many of us are preparing ourselves for what happens on #ElectionDay. Here's what we know and how we can best organize for the week. A thread ⏬ (1/6) #FueraTrump
KEEP CALM. PATIENCE. Let's be honest, this election is going to be like no other— the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted how we vote, & must ensure everyone has their say and that every ballot is counted! (2/6)
WE MUST COUNT. The GOP is a political minority! The country is changing. So Trump & the GOP are trying to change up the rules in the middle of the game, to preserve power. (3/6)
DO NOT PANIC. Whatever Trump wants to claim, #ElectionDay will not have a clear winner. We get to decide who wins.
(4/6)
WE HAVE THE POWER. We know Trump is a failure, not a champion. His whole campaign is founded by lies, this will be the same case for what he projects tomorrow night. Follow trusted sources, and stay focused for what lies ahead. (5/6)
Our best advice for our gente at this moment is to: 1. Not panic 2. Ponte Trucha 3. Stay tuned as we join partners to defend election results wherever necessary (6/6): FueraTrump.com

"How did ICE know that I lived here? How did they know that so & so is my cousin? How did they know that I worked at this place and would travel from this location everyday?"
—Jacinta González
We realized that ICE was accessing our private data.
Latinx communities MUST show up powerfully right now.
We must go beyond hollow statements of solidarity & towards a genuine compañerismo.
We must take concrete action that goes beyond addressing intra-community anti-Blackness.
The time now calls for modeling pro-Blackness & an embodied sense that our fates are linked.
Our task is to stand shoulder to shoulder & put it out in the work.
Mijente stands with all Black communities across the country who are calling out the injustice of the state-sanctioned murder of Black people in the hands of the police.
We know there's a revolving door b/w Silicon Valley & the fed gov.
Tech gets richer while our ppl increasingly disappear at the hands of ICE.
Now we know how willing co. like Thompson Reuters are to not only work with ICE, but to create targeted lists of our ppl. ⬇️
