Immigrant rights are human rights.

Trump’s crossed the rubicon, the die has been cast. Do something.

A friendly reminder that ICE doesn’t belong here, Californians didn’t ask for these federal racists, and that we must defend our communities.

Time to #Resist the Government into submission, most likely won't happen till March 15th or much later. Resistance is the only way with MAGA, cut them off & these protests affect MAGA workers too!

This is correct.
Although we are working tirelessly with union members and full-on orgs to join forces & demand better conditions for all, we are not a labor union. We aren’t suggesting a union only strike… we are amassing enough fed up Americans for a #massstrike.
i've signed my strike card and am spreading the word, but i'd like to make a suggestion.

a lot of people don't realize that a general strike is not necessarily a labor union-sanctioned action, and that anyone - especially non-union labor - can participate.

i would put the definition right up front

Whether you’re able to go on #strike w/ us or not, we are building out state-specific resource hubs that will be accessible for ALL! Why? Because stronger, more aligned communities can stand up against corruption + thrive amidst adversity & change.

Stay tuned!

So proud of these children out of our San Antonio, TX community that organized and held a walkout to protest ICE raids and general anti-immigrant sentiment in their city.

We love seeing the future of our movements stand in solidarity with their immigrant neighbors. Compassion is strong praxis ✊🏽
San Antonio students walkout to protest indiscriminate ICE raids despite district’s warnings.

“Pay attention to what your children are saying,” said a community member who joined the students.

Went to a good protest formed by a local @indivisible.org chapter, very kind organizers, met some amazing people. Get out and protest! It feels difficult meeting new people sometimes, but at protests like these you know you’re among good people! I encourage you if you feel defeated, get involved!

We are primed to hit 200k+ sign-ups TODAY! It’s time to expand our circles of sharing. This means reaching out to political & social service groups we feel would be receptive to joining us.

At this rate, to be transparent, if we continue to gain 100k/wk it will take 110 wks to get to 11 mil.

Sign the pledge to stand strong against immigration raids and the racial profiling of our friends & neighbors. Targeting and deporting hard-working essential workers who have been struggling for a path to legalization for decades is just wrong. ufw.org/immigrationr... #WeFeedYou

The temp workers at my job are precious, generous, kind, gracious people. Most are not US citizens.

I told them today that if they ever felt unsafe at home because of the ICE raids happening around the country, to call me and I'd figure out a way to harbor them.

Because this is where we are now.

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

Another example of legal resistance. If everyone had and used this card, it would intensely frustrate federal plans to instill fear and target specifically minority communities. Of course, this is only until there’s no such thing as “legal resistance”

Direct action that you can take, speak with people in your community and distribute these. ICE is being used by fascists as a demoralizing tool, and they don’t belong in our communities. They are not police. They will lie and cheat. They do not have values.
