5 cosas importantes de saber cuando votamos #FueraTrump (1/7):
#1: Trump ha discriminado contras nuestras familias con salud preexistentes (2/7).
#2: Trump ha echo el esfuerzo de poner fin a la covertura de salud a más de 20 millones de personas durante la pandemia que ha impactado desproporcionadamente a nuestras comunidades.
#3: Trump cree que nuestra gente no merece cobertura médica (3/7).
#4: Trump hace que sea más difícil para las mujeres acceder a servicios de salud asequibles (4/7).
#5: La administración de Trump podría haber evitado el 60% de las muertes por COVID-19. Eso equivale aproximadamente a 134,000 personas que seguirían estando vivas.
#FueraTrump es la lucha por nuestras vidas. Haz que se escuche tu voz y VOTA!

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)

When our ppl began to ask us:

"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.
This realization lead us to begin researching & uncovering the tech companies propping up ICE's massive data surveillance system.

You can read the report here 👇

mijente.net/2018/10/whos-b…
Thru our research we learned that over 15% of DHS's budget is exclusively dedicated to data management.

That means the surveillance, arrest & deportation of our ppl is a lucrative business for tech.

And thus, we began to call out those tech companies:

¡Oye!

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. ⬇️
Docs show how TR Special Services employees track changes in personal info (names, addresses, jail bookings, driver’s license info, phone numbers & more) & subject location, updating ICE agents & helping them refine deportation investigations

See docs ⬇️

This work also involves “risk mitigation services” (a $4 million contract) which is supposed to track threats against agents.

In reality, this has just been used to retaliate against undocumented immigrant activist & others who protest ICE's activities.

🚨 NEWS 🚨

We just released a report w/LCCLA on the impact of COVID-19 for the Latinx community.

The outlook is not good. We're dying disproportionately. We have the lowest rates of healthcare. We're on the frontlines of exposure.

But we can fight back.
Latinx people are suffering from social & economic inequalities exacerbated by this crisis.

We represent the overwhelming majority of low-wage job earners. We have the most workplace fatalities.

Yet we have the lowest healthcare coverage—abandoned by the government.
This means we're considered "essential" right now, as farmworkers, grocery store workers, caretakers, & medical workers.

We’re in high-risk jobs w/ the *lowest* defenses:
—1/5 of us are paid poverty wages
—70% have no retirement acct
—just 49% have private healthcare

Today, Palantir's CEO gave an interview at Davos. He admitted they help hunt down undocumented people.

This is after *months* of denial, saying they help fight trafficking & terrorism, deflecting when asked about ICE.

Gig's up @PalantirTech #NoTechforICE

Alex Karp says "It's a de minimis part of our work, finding people in our country who are undocumented, but it's a legitimate, complex issue."

What's complex about arresting parents at work, leaving kids home alone, ruining families?

Nothing. It's wrong—but Palantir enables it.
There is nothing complex about human rights violations. There is nothing complex about complicity.

If you help ICE, if you help deportations, you separate families, you ruin lives, you enable an anti-immigrant crackdown.

This is an easy moral choice—& they're still failing.
