55 yrs ago, thousands marched in East LA in the Chicano Moratorium. This moment in history is especially relevant today, as an extreme federal mass deportation agenda terrorizes our communities. Our voices matter & we must remain committed as ever to speaking up against injustice

#CalLeg passed #AJR17 & #SJR8 urging Congress to support legislation to create a pathway to citizenship. Immigrants are integral to CA’s economy—families who’ve built their lives here and deserve dignity, stability, and the freedom to fully participate in our communities. Sound on🔊
