🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

This DHS spokesman is incredibly bad at his job. Pressed repeatedly to name a single thing that Mr. Khalil is alleged to have done to “support terrorism,” he repeatedly refuses to say anything specific and just says versions of “everybody knows what he did.”

BREAKING: DOJ takes Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship to SCOTUS, asking the justices to limit three existing nationwide injunctions to the plaintiffs in the cases — a move that would allow the admin to start implementing an EO that several courts have said is plainly unconstitutional.

On March 8, DHS agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a US permanent resident & student activist for Palestinian rights, from his New York apartment. Mahmoud was targeted for his political speech & activism in support of Palestinian freedom and for an end to the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

We will not stand idly by: Free Mahmoud Khalil! Jewish Voice for Peace demands the Trump administration release Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. The detention of Mahmoud is further proof that we are on the brink of a full takeover by a repressive, authoritarian regime.

For decades, humanitarian parole has been a critical lifeline for people fleeing danger. But now programs have been ended for most new applications, leaving people from Afghanistan, Latin America, and Ukraine with even fewer legal pathways to safety. More: www.rescue.org/article/what...

This is unacceptable. However, Advanced Placement classes in public education aren’t the only vehicle to teach our youth about colonization, racist U.S. policies, etc. Our organizing should also be educating our constituencies about U.S. history from “the people’s” perspective.

If the CFPB didn't decide last year that its mission required it to regulate Big Tech's entry into banking, it wouldn't be shut down today. We know that because Republicans in Congress are working now to make sure the agency can *never* go after Big Tech. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

Thank you for organizing today’s Forum on Trump- Musk attack on consumers @warren.senate.gov! Elon’s attempt to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is not going unnoticed. Witnesses are speaking out and describing the benefits of the CFPB!

Vanguard, world’s #1 investor in fossil fuels, is about to have a shareholder meeting. It's an especially opaque company & this shareholder meeting is a rare occurrence – the last time Vanguard had one was in 2017. So, today, we showed up in prayerful action near Vanguard CEO Salim Ramji’s home.

Keep the antennas up, all the way up. We take care of each other. "Gov. Abbott stated he'd been planning the immigration operation in Colony Ridge for months to target criminals & immigrants. Observers said some people who were stopped were on to their way to work." www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

NEW: In this week's newsletter, we lament how little congressional Democrats have done in the face of Trump’s fascist onslaught and demand more dynamic opposition. 🧵

With the swath of Executive Orders Trump signed yesterday, see @nilc.org resource breaking them down. We encourage all to read and inform your communities. We take care of each other. Analysis of Trump Day 1 Executive Orders: Unconstitutional, Illegal, and Cruel: www.nilc.org/articles/ana...

Inauguration day is around the corner. We invite you to join us in supporting one another, the migrants seeking a better life, and most importantly to learn your rights. Stay tuned as we share resources for you and your communities. We take care of each other.

We are grateful to the 43 members of Congress who signed a “friend of the court” brief, supporting @youthvgov plaintiffs’ SCOTUS certiorari petition, access to climate justice, and rights to a safe climate. Read: bit.ly/amicus2025pr Amplify: bit.ly/cert-toolkit

🚨 Our 2024 #insurance scorecard, #WithinOurPower, is live! The 🔑 finding: Over a third of weather-related insured losses this century – a staggering $600 billion – can be attributed to climate change. 🌍 Stay tuned for details as we post more updates! www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Since the election, there's been a lot of talk about abundance as a path forward for Democrats. Our @dylangyauchl.bsky.social followed the money for @theprospect.bsky.social and found a lot of ties between the centrist groups pushing abundance and oil and Big Tech. prospect.org/economy/2024...

Yesterday, we gathered @ Vanguard’s headquarters in PA with our friends Earth Quaker Action Team (EQAT) Vanguard –– the world’s #1 investor in fossil fuels –– oversees $413 billion in coal, oil + gas globally.

The vipers (including Musk) are eating each others face off in Trump’s snake pit. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

Hey all! 👋🏽 👋🏾👋🏼👋🏿We’ve been here a while, but haven’t engaged as much as we would like to! How are you trying to build with Latine communities and migrants these next four years?

Day 2 of #DNC2024 and we are attending this morning’s Ethnic Council. Senator Van Hollen joins us and talks about the rich ethnic diversity of Maryland.

65+ NGOs with millions of supporters have written to institutional investors calling on them to boycott the impending #CoastalGaslink Pipeline Ltd / TC Energy $2.3 billion (USD) bond sale. #climatesky #greensky

As clean air programs are cut, our air quality will continue to suffer. Advocates need California Governor Gavin Newsom to restore California’s clean air safety net #CAbudget calmatters.org/environment/...

Affirmative relief will help #ProtectAmericanFamilies and grow the economy. We need to ensure that those with strong ties to our communities can live safely and stay together with their loved ones. The Administration must take action this year.

🌍 Wall Street is burning our planet – but we're going to stop them. It's time to rise up & demand an end to fossil fuel financing. Join Stop the Money Pipeline and more for #SummerOfHeat – a joyful, relentless movement of nonviolent civil disobedience 🔗 Visit summerofheat.org to join the fight!

On #MayDay and every day, let's join forces to fight for fair treatment, dignity, and respect for all workers. Happy May Day!

The fossil fuel industry's lies about climate change in the last 10 years are being exposed. California must act now to end subsidies for these companies and continue pushing for justice for the damage they've caused. #MakePollutersPay #BigOilLies www.commondreams.org/news/oil-and...

Climate change and migration are often two sides of the same coin. Climate impacts often drive migration, while immigration policy must consider #climatechange. Understanding this intersection is crucial for effective climate and immigration policy.

Facts matter: Immigrants aren't just a vibrant part of our society; they're also major contributors to our economy. Let's make things clear this #TaxDay. Immigrants pay 31% of total taxes, spanning federal, state & local, while representing only 13.5% of the population. 📈💵 #ImmigrantsAreEssential

Companies that care about #climatechange, need to care about their banking. What can these companies do? A lot. Check out the latest OpEd by Stop The Money Pipeline! ⬇️ thehill.com/opinion/4563...

A must read OpEd reflecting how the #EaglePass, TX community has continued to endure increased border militarization & witness the awful treatment of migrants bc of Gov. Abbott's political theater. Humane & transformative immigration policies are our only way forward. www.reckon.news/justice/2024...

We are in a #ClimateEmergency. Big Oil & Gas must do their part to protect our families & the planet. The world’s fossil-fuel producers are on track to nearly quadruple the amount of extracted oil and gas from newly approved projects by the end of this decade. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Last year, there were nearly 4 million people in immigration court facing deportation, 70% of whom lacked legal representation. Legal representation should be a right afforded to those in immigration proceedings to keep families together. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

We send our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the workers who lost their lives in the tragic Baltimore bridge collapse. These workers immigrated from Latin America and built their lives in the U.S. May they rest in peace. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

We send our love to the families of those who are missing following the tragic Baltimore bridge collapse. It is reported that some of the workers who were working on the bridge are Latin American immigrants. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/tr...

Anti-Latine hate crimes hit record highs in 2022- the most recent year for which nat'l stats are available. We reject the growing acceptance of "white replacement theory" pushed by far-right media outlets and will keep organizing for a world built on love & inclusion. www.axios.com/2024/03/07/l...

Extremism isn't just rhetoric - it fuels violence and threatens immigrant communities. Trump's comments that immigrants are “not people” further demonstrate the danger of divisive language. Let's keep organizing against hate, reframe the narrative and work towards unity and inclusion.

Good on Senator Kaine for challenging use of dangerous “invasion” rhetoric around immigration. "It was that kind of wording that led the deranged guy to go shoot up the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh,” he said on Fox News over the weekend: bitly.ws/3gKiV

Our friends Robie and Alex Flores of Eagle Pass Border Coalition released their documentary film "The In Between" that takes place in #EaglePass and documents what life really looks like on the border. Check out their interview in @texasmonthly.bsky.social! www.texasmonthly.com/arts-enterta...

Tomorrow, March 26, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that could remove access to the abortion pill Mifepristone. The stakes are extremely high. We demand reproductive freedom for all! www.npr.org/sections/hea...

Florida's governor is deploying troops and law enforcement officers to intercept any migrants coming by boat from Haiti. Some Haitian-American leaders say it's more about politics than being prepared.

This is Claudia Tenney using taxpayer funds to peddle the white nationalist "invasion" conspiracy, the same bigoted lie that motivated the terrorist who murdered 10 people just under two years ago in Buffalo. "The invasion at our southern border is an existential threat," Tenney says in her ad.
