On Tuesday, a federal judge in New Jersey rejected an attempt [[link removed]] by Trump's campaign to curtail part of the state's vote-by-mail plan just weeks before Election Day!While this voter suppression attempt was quashed, there are many others happening across the country in places such as Harris County, Texas [[link removed]] . Over the next few weeks, New Americans and people of color must continue to stand up to these attacks on our voting rights and fight back by voting. Because when we vote, we win!

On Tuesday, the highly disturbing news broke that Department of Justice officials were a “driving force” [[link removed]] behind Trump’s child separation policy—and that Jeff Sessions told prosecutors in 2018 that “we need to take away children.”These are not words from someone who sees us and our children as human. This proves once again that the cruelty has been—and still is—the point. We will make our voices heard at the ballot box in November and elect a new generation of leaders who are grounded in dignity and care for all, and will put an end to the routine terrorization of immigrant children.

Quick question: Have you been contacted by any campaigns this year?
If not, that doesn’t surprise us, because New Americans are often overlooked as a voting block. In fact, we're often told that outreach to our communities “isn’t worth the time or money.” Well, we wholeheartedly reject that notion, and we’ve decided to do something about it.
On Wednesday, October 21st at 7 pm EST/4 pm PST, we’re hosting a special event [[link removed]] to text #PeopleLikeUs in three important states—Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Because, as we know full well, it’s up to us to help get out the vote and expand the electorate.
