“Power concedes nothing without a demand." - Frederick Douglass.
No great social justice victory was ever won in history without a fight and a clear list of demands.
As we continue mobilizing our #Citizenship4All 100 Days Campaign, our demands are clear: 1. A pathway to citizenship for all 11 million undocumented immigrants, regardless of age, country of origin, or criminal background;
2. A pathway to citizenship for all intercountry adoptees, including those who have been deported; and
3. An END to ALL deportations with the goal of abolishing ICE and CBP.
And with these clear demands, we are ready to FIGHT. We also know that this is only the beginning. We know that #Citizenship4All will not solve everything.
Black citizens and indigenous folks, for instance, are not afforded the same rights as others. Refugees also continue to suffer at our borders without access to any relief.
Citizenship does not mean anything if it does not come with access to housing, food, clean water, clean air, and gainful employment.
Again, this fight is JUST the beginning and we need each and every one of you to help us keep pushing for more,
because our communities deserve more and we don't have to live like this! Will you commit to helping our fight? Join NOW! citizenship4all.live/100-days-campa…
Also, thank you Kim for trying to take the initial photo for us :)

“The NYPD is the feeding tube of ICE” - Javier’s sister speaking to us over the phone discussing her brother and how we need to FIGHT to #EndAllDeportations!!

100 Days Campaign update! We couldn't get near the White House or Congress again, so we held our presence near the Black Lives Matter Plaza in DC near a fence with beautiful messages of solidarity and justice. #Citizenship4All
In just 2 hours, we collected nearly 100 signatures in support of our campaign demands!!! #Citizenship4All and an END to ALL detentions and deportations!
This is just the beginning and we are excited to continue sustaining our pressure on President Biden and Congress to do the right thing: pass #Citizenship4All 11 million undoucmented immigrants and to put an immediate END to all detentions and deportations! 3 days down, 97 to go!
Detentions are places of psychological torture that create conditions that cause hunger strikes. For over 75 days, 5 South Asian asylum seekers have been on hunger strike at a privately-owned Louisiana detention center. (1/5)
The NOLA field office has the ability to free these men or to keep them locked up in cages. Call their office and demand that ICE release the 5 men on hunger strike! (3/5)
