Leydy Rangel: "For nearly an entire year, farm workers have risked their lives to produce our food in the pandemic... Undocumented farm workers and families like mine face another menace, and that's a lack of status." #WeAreHome
.@SenAlexPadilla: "Dignity, respect, and a pathway to citizenship for essential workers is personal to me and is in the best interest of our nation." #WeAreHome
Doris Landaverde: "We are the people who risk our lives everyday when we leave our homes to work."

Doris is an essential worker at @Harvard. When the students were sent home, she continued working on campus. #WeAreHome
.@ewarren: "We must pay special attention to undocumented essential workers... We have failed to live up to our values as a nation. And that's what the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act does- it allows us to live up to our values." #WeAreHome
Javier Castro: "I am grateful for DACA but unfortunately this is not a permanent solution and nobody should have to live their lives two years at a time."

Javier is the only Spanish speaking nurse in his unit in Texas. #WeAreHome
.@JoaquinCastrotx: "We should be forever grateful as a nation for their work and what they were willing to sacrifice for our country." #WeAreHome
.@RepTedLieu: "We know that undocumented immigrants are one of the largest groups among the essential workforce... We are relying on undocumented immigrants to help protect Americans." #WeAreHome
Rose Tilus: "With this new administration I have felt hope that things will be different because the last four years have been horrendous." #WeAreHome

Ahead of #CPAC2021, our new report underscores how Trump’s racism and xenophobia backfired. Take a look: bit.ly/3q6w3yx Image
"Donald Trump is reemerging to proclaim his domination of the GOP and to put anti-immigrant bigotry at the heart of the party’s message. We predict this will be as ‘successful’ as his efforts to do so in 2018 and 2020." - @ZacharyAMueller
"The GOP strategy is clear: use racism and xenophobia to divide the nation and distract voters from the multiple crises we face. Trump and his Republicans are not interested in governing, they are interested in regaining power." - @ZacharyAMueller

"It's time for America to deliver a road to citizenship for essential undocumented workers."- @FrankSharry on the introduction of the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act introduced by @SenAlexPadilla @SenWarren, @RepTedLieu & @JoaquinCastrotx
bit.ly/2NJvJZ5 #WeAreHome Image
"It’s time for the nation to move beyond the demonization of immigrants by the GOP and extend citizenship to those who risk their lives on behalf of all Americans." - @FrankSharry #WeAreHome
"During this pandemic, we all have become more aware of the key role immigrants play in helping feed, care for, and protect America. And yet, our government designates these workers as both essential and deportable. This is reprehensible." - @FrankSharry

Senator @JohnCornyn & the GOP need to get aligned with majority of Americans and support Biden’s immigration bill
bit.ly/3pR5XiD Image
"The #CornynCon is back! Fresh from telling a pack of election lies about wanting to legalize Dreamers, @JohnCornyn has once again returned to Washington to obstruct, block & slow down any & all immigration measures, including those to help young immigrants." - @_mariocarrillo_
"Just a few months ago, John Cornyn ran an ad, in Spanish, saying he supported a standalone bill that provided citizenship for Dreamers. But is he a sponsor of that or any immigration bill? Of course not." - @_mariocarrillo_

As Trump heads to CPAC and Stephen Miller to Capitol Hill, a reminder of how xenophobia played in Georgia: bit.ly/3kmeOrn Image
"Republican @RepLizCheney is calling out the Republican Party for becoming ‘the party of white supremacy.’ Meanwhile, CPAC and House Republicans are calling in Donald Trump and Stephen Miller to deepen the party’s embrace of white supremacy." - @FrankSharry
"In Georgia & in states throughout the Sunbelt, political transformation is well underway. The combination of changing demographics, on-the-ground organizing & the rejection of Republican racism & xenophobia are driving voters into the hands of Democrats." - @FrankSharry
