🚨BIG NEWS🚨
The @UofCalifornia Board of Regents just unanimously voted to create a plan to implement #Opportunity4All campaign to remove hiring restrictions for undocumented students.
This is a big win & a testament to the power of undocumented student organizing.
Unanimous vote from @UofCalifornia regents to form six-month working group to explore a policy to authorize the hiring of UC students without regard to immigration status.
I hugged my brother after 17 years.
In this country there are millions of hugs that await bc of politics, bureaucracy and racism.
I hope that migrants from the global South can soon hug their loved ones without asking permission, visas or documents to countries in the North.
Heard at the #LP2022:
Colorado is likely to pass unemployment benefits for undocumented immigrants. When enacted, this will be the first policy of its kind in-the-nation!

While national politics sicken the nation, state/local organizing is changing the world.
The “pro-life” foreign policy killed tens of thousands in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The “pro-life” gun policy resulted in Uvalde and thousands of other mass shootings.
The “pro-life” immigration policy is killing migrants is mass.
HOW EXACTLY ARE THESE POLICIES SAVING LIVES??????
DACA turns 10 this year! But immigrant communities need permanent relief. ✊
Thousands still face detention & deportation. That's why our members are taking @UNITEDWEDREAM's pledge to secure everyone’s fundamental human rights to live safely & freely:

10/ ICE has created a surveillance infrastructure that enables it to pull detailed dossiers on nearly anyone, seemingly at any time.
Anyone can be located by ICE simply by applying for driver’s licenses; driving on the roads; or signing up for heat, water, and electricity.
After the Roe v. Wade leak, I can no longer say “oh, this will never happen.”
There is a long-term strategy to chip away rights from voting to abortion to even deny basic education to undocumented children!
We can’t take our rights for granted anymore.
As conservatives see an opening to look at old precedents, Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas may target a 1982 Supreme Court decision requiring schools to educate all children. nyti.ms/3FjCmb3
In a democracy, the public regulates the private sector.
In a plutocracy, the private regulates the public sector.
Question: Where do you think we are headed?
La renovación de DACA en línea podría haberse implementado hace mucho tiempo atrás.
La administración Biden tiene mucho por hacer para agilizar los trámites migratorios los cuales tardan muchos meses e incluso años.
Envia: DACA al 877-877 para más recibir información.
I've personally seen the impact of disinformation on my own friends and family, and it is scary.
Our community is being deliberately targeted by political actors that seek to divide us, spread hate and conspiracy theories or "alternative facts" as they say.
It is important that we equip ourselves with the tools to combat disinformation and take a proactive approach in protecting our people. Kudos to @JuanitaRoars and @JoseAlonsoMunoz for leading this important work.
BTW. One way to protect us from disinformation is to support @UWDAction as well as reliable (public) local news and sources of information, which are cutting budgets and staff while suspicious sources keep popping.
