Friend,
It’s up to us to protect each other. Trump just gave his deportation agents unchecked authority to step into schools, hospitals, and places of worship to hunt down immigrants.
I’m not going to lie to you — as a DACA recipient who moved here at the age of one, this is terrifying. In these moments I have to remind myself that there is safety and protection in community.
We have stopped deportations under Trump before, and we can do it again. We must.
There are many ways to protect immigrants. Here are my top picks:
Join the Here To Stay Network. 📢✨ Make your bold commitment to protect immigrants and fight alongside us! When you join, you'll get the latest news and resources to protect immigrants, lift each other up, and take action.
Learn about your rights. 📝 ICE and CBP cannot take away our POWER. Use these resources to express your rights in case you have an encounter with an immigration official.
Distribute “Red Cards” with Know Your Rights! 🔴 Keep one in your wallet or share them in your local library, masjid (mosque), or mercado (market). An easy way for businesses, private attorneys and non-profits to support immigrants!
Find a loved one who is detained. 🧑🧑🧒🧒🔎Use the “Freedom for Immigrants: Lost in the Immigration System” Toolkit to aid your search for a loved one imprisoned in a detention camp.
Safely & accurately report immigration raids online & in-person. 📲🚨 Trump’s deportation force will be chaotic and intimidating. Learn how to share verified content online claiming reports of ICE and Border Patrol raids. In addition, learn how to make safer, accurate reports when you spot deportation agents in your city or neighborhood. 🤳🚔
The fact of the matter is that Trump will continue to recklessly use his Presidency to tear apart families and communities, in order to distract us from his goal of leaving the White House richer than he entered. Trump does not care about anyone but himself.
But we care about our home and our future. Imagine what our communities could look like when we’re all able to flourish and have what we need — a warm meal, a roof over our heads, and healthcare to lead longer healthier lives. We have the power to help shape our shared future and drive that dream forward.
When we protect immigrants, we are protecting the home we all deserve. Let’s unite to show Trump that immigrants are here to stay!
We are in this together,
Sheridan and the UWD team
