Democracy is collapsing in #ElSalvador. Indefinite reelection, a state of emergency, and repression against critical voices are consolidating authoritarianism. Security cannot justify the loss of freedoms.

Exigimos que la alcaldía de Miami-Dade invierta esos fondos en lo que verdaderamente importa: preparar a todas las familias para la temporada de huracanes y el calor extremo que ya estamos enfrentando. (3/3)

Alianza Americas @alianzaamericas.bsky.social · Jun 27

La audiencia se realizaba en rechazo a un acuerdo de colaboración entre la alcaldía y ICE, que amenaza a nuestras comunidades y promueve la separación de familias. Necesitamos líderes que nos protejan, no que derrochen recursos en alianzas que profundizan el miedo entre nuestros vecinos. (2/3)

Our communities contribute every day—and we deserve a budget that reflects our priorities.

Alianza Americas @alianzaamericas.bsky.social · Jun 23

The new U.S. budget proposal cuts essential programs that support our health, food, education, and housing—while increasing spending on military and immigration enforcement, and protecting tax breaks for the ultra-rich. 🧵⤵️

This #Juneteenth reminds us: information has always been a powerful tool—used to oppress or liberate.

Just like news of emancipation was delayed, vital educational and informational resources are still systematically denied to our communities.

Nothing about the Bukele-Trump relationship is an accident. It is clear that the international spotlight Bukele has been under has exposed the human rights violations he has caused.

There is no democracy without due process and freedom of speech!

Alianza Americas @alianzaamericas.bsky.social · Jun 6

Let’s be clear: Bukele wants to shut down visits to #ElSalvador because international attention is exposing the truth thousands in CECOT have endured for years. We can’t stop at #Kilmar—there are 250 Venezuelans and over 85,000 Salvadorans still denied justice.

Alianza Americas @alianzaamericas.bsky.social · Jun 6

We must continue to fight to ensure #Kilmar has a fair trial, and continue the pressure until the Venezuelan migrants forcefully transported, and everyone who has been unjustly imprisoned in El Salvador receive their due process!

Pressure is working. While the administration paints #Kilmar's return to suit their own narrative, we know the truth. Democracy and #dueprocess is worth fighting for!

Bukele does not want anymore visits to El Salvador because this attention has exposed what thousands in CECOT are experiencing!
