Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity

@RepZoeLofgren @AGRobBonta @DHSgov @SecMayorkas Thank you @AGRobBonta and @RepZoeLofgren - the record is clear immigration detention causes harm, trauma, suffering and even death. It is time to end the concentration camps of abuse inflicting harm. Please continue to pressure and prosecute violations of their own standards.

THREAD 🧵: (1/2) I welcome @AGRobBonta’s letter urging @DHSgov @SecMayorkas to reconsider contracts with private immigration detention centers in California.

@CAIRNational @POTUS Silence in the face of evil it’s evil itself…Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. -Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Enough. If President Biden sends even one more missile to the Israeli government after seeing the apocalyptic footage of headless Palestinian children and others burned alive using U.S. bombs in a so-called #Rafah safe zone, he will once again cross his own red line and every red line of U.S. law, international law and basic human decency. This is it, @POTUS. No more shifting red lines, no more for calls for Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to investigate itself, and no more military, financial or diplomatic support for this genocide. All Americans are being stained with the blood of innocent Palestinians by your support for this slaughter. It must end. Now. #RafahOnFıre #Gaza

Interfaith Movement is proud to know and partner with Laura. She’s one of many whom @GavinNewsom can pardon so she can stay and continue the amazing work she does for the community.

Thank you Rep. Lee for this strong statement: lee.house.gov/news/press-rel…

We can’t compromise on our basic principles by agreeing to hardline Republican demands like blocking all asylum seekers. I joined @RepPressley, @RepRaulGrijalva, & advocates from across the country, including @CASAforall, @ACLU, @SEIU, @amnestyusa & many others, to stand with asylum seekers.

Thank you @Rep_Stansbury - Migration is Beautiful. Migration is Sacred.

Republicans are trying to use immigrants as a political football as they push for their cruel, unworkable border bill. We won't let them. It's time for an immigration system that centers justice, dignity, and humanity.

I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Tell Congress to reinstate funding to UNRWA. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-c…

In this year of budget deficit let's save dollars from #PrisonClosure and focus on #CommunitySafety!

🧵Today, at a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, several activists, including two Detention Watch Network staff members, were arrested for demanding an immediate ceasefire and that members of Congress reject the White House’s supplemental funding request. #CeasefireNOW

Communities are rising up to say: From Palestine to Mexico, All Walls Have to Go. Congress: Reject the #BidenDeathPackage. We demand a ceasefire now, & an end to military funding to Israel & abusive immigration enforcement agencies ICE + CBP. #CeasefireNOW bit.ly/reject105bln

BREAKING: Israel has cut off ALL communications in Gaza and continued bombing. Currently citizens have no access to internet or electricity. They are committing genocide under the cover of darkness. Call your reps now and demand a ceasefire. to: m4bl.link/ceasefire

We grieve the loss lives. We call on the US to stop sending weapons and military equipments. We demand for immediate ceasefire, and unrestricted humanitarian aid to reach those in Gaza! @POTUS @KamalaHarris @SpeakerPelosi @GavinNewsom @BarbaraLeeForCA @RoKhanna @SecBlinken

@POTUS We call for a Ceasefire and the US to stop sending new weapons and military equipment to Israel which will escalate and result in more death and destruction of Gazan civilians. There must be an unrestricted humanitarian aid corridor and a future of equality and freedom for all.

Israel has the right to defend itself. We must make sure they have what they need to protect their people today and always.   At the same time, Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have discussed how Israel must operate by the laws of war. That means protecting civilians in combat as best as they can.   We can’t ignore the humanity of innocent Palestinians who only want to live in peace. That’s why I secured an agreement for the first shipment of humanitarian assistance for Palestinian civilians in Gaza.   And we cannot give up on a two-state solution.

Yesterday, immigrant Californians packed the state court to make it clear: CA’s prison system can no longer act with impunity and our elected leaders must take responsibility as more people learn what happens behind CDCR’s closed doors.
