Dear John, 

This administration’s cruel immigration policies have resulted in migrant families being torn apart at the border, children being held in detention camps under horrible conditions, and DACA and TPS protections being rescinded.

These policies do not align with the values of our generation and represent a threat to the social fabric of our nation.

Thankfully, young people are leading the charge across the country to smash this system. We all know the issues immigrants face, understand what’s at stake, and are building movements around our values for justice and human rights.

But sometimes there’s so much under attack for immigrants’ rights that it’s tough to know where to start. That’s why we made this explainer video as a resource for individuals across the movement, whether they’re just getting plugged in to the advocacy space or have a little more experience.

Get the facts on some of the fundamentals of the immigration fight at the federal, state, and local levels. See how you can take action and fuel the fire in the immigrants’ rights movement!

Like and share this explainer video from our FREE We Are Progress online course so your friends and family can learn more about the important immigration issues impacting young people today. You can also use this free factsheet to get the facts and stand up for impacted communities.

We need young people everywhere to get the facts, get inspired, and push back against xenophobic policies at every level of government.

When we stand in solidarity, we represent a danger to the system that profits—both politically and economically—off of the persecution of immigrants.

Will you count yourself among the young people fighting so that ALL people can prosper?

Peace, progress, and solidarity,

Christian L. Smith
