Hey y’all wanted to share some news I got in an email about immigrants and immigration in America
Last week the American government passed a “bipartisan short-term spending bill — that contained NO new funding for ICE or CBP!”
For people concerned about immigrants and brown people in America this is very good news!
“But this fight isn’t over. Supplemental funding plans are in the works, and immigration policy and billions in funding for ICE and CBP are still being negotiated by the House and Senate.”
Despite this temporary hold on funds the government is still trying to find more ways to funnel money into harming immigrants, Dreamers, and anyone they deem a “threat” to America for coming to this country. It’s xenophobic and racist and disgusting and nationalistic and it needs to stop.
“The government should be investing in real immigration solutions, not the militarization of our border or the stripping away of human rights. That’s why UWDA is focusing our efforts on demanding Congress DEFUND these hateful and dangerous organizations in the supplemental funding package.”
United We Dream Action (UWDA) is an organization that aims to help Dreamers and immigrants in America have a better life and help protect them from our violent government that wishes to harm them.
Please consider helping the many immigrants in our country and protect them from the dangerous of the American government
You can become a member of UWD and receive emails and updates on news and progress like the information above
You can sign a petition demanding Biden and the democrats deliver the promises they made to the American people
[Biden campaigned on creating a humane immigration system. He campaigned on rebuking Trump-era policies, establishing our asylum system, protecting and expanding programs like DACA and TPS, and providing a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented people.
As President Biden marks one year in office, he has deported and expelled over 1.8 million people going against his promises to protect immigrant communities and stop deportations.]
(We should be holding our president and political leaders responsible. They are here for us. They made promises for us. And when they don’t go through with the things we want they harm us.)
And you can donate to keep UDWA’s efforts going
In this time of turmoil and strife across the world, please don’t forget about immigrants and the millions of people in America just trying to make a better life for themselves in a country that actively opposes that and threatens their lives.
If you care about the expulsion and violence of Palestinians you should also care about the victims of anti-immigration. This is all about capitalism and power and displacing minorities and violence against innocent people.
Circulation of information is power. Awareness is power. Knowledge is power. If you are aware of the things going on in the world around you you are powerful. You don’t know who this information could reach and how they could help the cause so please at the very least share this. None of the people I follow talk about immigration issues and that should change because it effects all of us. Keep these thoughts in your head and do what you can to inflict change in the real world, even if that just means talking about it so someone else knows. That is powerful. Please.
