We cannot acquiesce to a misguided border strategy in exchange for securing protections for certain classes of immigrants. We need and deserve an immigration system that works for all. The Senate Emergency Supplemental Bill doesn't bring us any closer to making that a reality.

Immigrants help our nation function.

Amadeo shares this photo from Oxnard CA where he labors in the strawberries. He shares: We farm workers deserve fair treatment and a fair salary. Our hands do the hard work that feeds you. We deserve to be treated like the necessary essential workers that we are. #WeFeedYou

A pathway to permanent status is a pathway home.

A friendly reminder for Congress:

Immigrants are the FUTURE. 🇺🇸

DACA was never meant to be permanent. Dreamers need real, lasting solutions now.

It is unacceptable to agree to proposals that will endanger refugees and separate families. Call now to #SaveAsylum and urge your member of Congress to reject anti-immigrant measures: SaveAsylumNow.com

These Jamaican H2A workers are laboring in upstate NY on a cold 26° snowy day. They're planting and pruning new apple trees. These trees will bear fruit in September 2024. #WeFeedYou

It’s been far too long!

No matter your immigration status, you deserve safety, family unity, and a chance to contribute to your community.

H-2A apple workers in Wayne County, NY shared this photo of a swarm of bees they encountered while harvesting. One worker was chased, stung & missed work for a few days while the swelling in his arm reduced. Workers aren't trained or warned of dangers like this. #WeFeedYou
