NJ Immigrant Justice Action Fund

President Trump is greeted with chants of “four more years”, and it is tough to not think about the children who are still separated from their families due to his cruel policies. Immigrants and refugees can’t risk another four more years of cruelty. #SOTU2020

“Thousands of families are being reunited”...gaslighting communities of color while immigrant families are still separated & refugee children are still unaccounted for is typical Trump behavior. Let’s remember - white surpremacists stand by Trump, and he is happy to join them.

“We are committed to ensuring that any candidate who is asking 4 our vote understands that hateful rhetoric will not pass for real policy, & that every voter sees through fear tactics & supports those who have real proposals that will benefit every1 who lives in our state". 6/6

Our response to Trump's NJ Visit: "NJ is a state of immigrants, with 1 of the largest foreign born populations in the nation. The Trump admin is directly responsible for the separation of thousands of NJ families due to his racist internal enforcement policies & travel ban.” 1/

“Election after election, anti-immigrant rhetoric has failed politicians across NJ. Trump & the politicians that support him have yet to win any major statewide election bc we are decent ppl who know that when immigrants are treated w/dignity & respect, our state succeeds”. 5/

“They tried to pin citizens against immigrants, & divide our state as a way to push their own political agenda - getting elected. Let us be clear, Congressman Van Drew & President Trump do not have the best interest of New Jerseyans in mind”. 4/ @MonsyAlvarado @NILCJusticeFund

“Trump & Van Drew spewed the same ‘greatest hits’ covered in hate that we have all come to know from the GOP, attacking immigrants & policies that support them as a way to rally their base.” 3/ @mattkatz00 @klandergan @MatthewArco #TrumpRallyNJ

“Thankfully, through a strong organized effort and advocacy from the public, our state leadership has prioritized common sense policies that benefit all New Jerseyans over political rhetoric” 2/

"Asking one question about Trump’s border wall plays into his racist attacks and fails to even scratch the surface...or address the needs of the 40 million immigrants living, working, and contributing to our country." More from @MarielenaNILC #DemDebate immigrantjusticefund.org/press/2019/11/…

Districts 1, 8 and 21 are close.

District 39 looking good for Republicans Holly Schepisi and Both Auth.

.@AP makes 1st call of the night in NJ Assembly race: Democratic @SpeakerCoughlin and running mate Asw. Yvonne Lopez projected to keep their seats. @News12NJ

When Trump and his congressional allies spout violent, anti-immigrant rhetoric, they encourage and endorse violence against communities of color. We all have a moral obligation to reject hate and denounce those who encourage it latimes.com/world-nation/s…

It’s insulting that they think so little of voters. That they will fall for their political theater. While the Trump campaign focused on vilifying immigrants, it doesn’t reflect our state. Thousands of immigrants live here, whether these politicians like it or not. #HereToStay

Voters - attention, they think you will fall for their empty rhetoric, which they know won’t change anything. Facts are clear - US Citizens commit more crimes than immigrants. Cities with pro-immigrant policies are safer. The AG Directive keeps us all safe. 3/

It’s a disgrace that candidates will use immigration to fire up their base. Sussex County candidates know the ballot initiative won’t change how they work with ICE, but they won’t tell the voters that. Federal law doesn’t require collaboration. 1/

Bergen County: You can vote at the County Clerk’s Office in person any day this week including Saturday (9am-1pm)! (in effect, you're filling out the application to vote by mail & receiving the ballot on the spot!) Have info for Sussex/Warren/Passaic? let us know and we'll RT!

Just plain evil. 😡 crooked.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=…
