Friend,

Take a moment to think about what makes you feel safe. When I think of safety, I think of affordable housing & healthcare, access to education and protections from deportation. Investing in community resources and people makes us safe, and we need our elected officials to get with it!

President Biden and Congress have failed to invest in the well being of our immigrant communities. Instead of delivering citizenship, they have deported and expelled over 2 million and increased the number of Border Patrol agents. So we’re taking action!

During our ‘Reimagine Safety’ Week of Action May 16th- 23rd, immigrant youth and allies across the country are hosting actions in their own communities to demand: cuts in funding to the deportation force, break the ties between local governments & ICE, and end all detentions & deportations NOW! Ready to take the lead and host an action in District of Columbia, Friend?

✊ Host an Action! ✊

Once you sign up to host an action, you’ll get the tools you need to help make your event a success! We’ll share a toolkit with guides to help design your action and we’ll invite you to a planning call for activists like you to come together and strategize your action plan.

A true commitment to immigrant justice requires action, not just empty promises or talking points. Every day that Biden and his administration fail to act puts the lives of Black and brown immigrants in danger of violence, family separation, detention, and deportation.

📣 It’s up to us to show up and show out to protect our immigrant communities, take action with us May 16th-23rd!

Alex and the rest of the UWD Team
