Don't miss this important #downtown event! @bpc4blm had the best #mbp candidate's forum last yr & this yr we're gonna have the best NYS Legislative Candidate's Forum for Assembly District's 61, 65 & 66, mod by @broadsheetnyc & @DoctorAnica REG HERE: smarturl.it/bpcforblm

#Reso0066 just passed the @NYCCouncil ! This bill calls on our state to end contracts with ICE making it more likely that immigrants can fight their cases at home & in their communities. This is the first step in ensuring immigrants in NY are treated with #DignityNotDetention

@GovKathyHochul @yuhline @briankavanaghny, I urge you to follow the facts, not fear. NY lawmakers must focus on evidence-based programs & repairing our frayed social safety net, not fear-mongering, misinformation & outright lies about bail reform. p2a.co/twitterimage?i…

While detained in Caroline Detention Facility, Paul has been assaulted and abused by officers. After reporting the incidents there was no action taken against them. He is in constant fear of his life. #FreePaulWhite #ProtectBlackQTImmigrants

Support Paul White’s 13-year-old daughter, Kady, who has been struggling emotionally throughout his time in immigration detention. She recently attempted suicide. Donate here. #FreePaulWhite gofund.me/78ad0aa5

URGENT ACTION NEEDED! Paul White, a Black bisexual immigrant who has lived in the United States for his entire adult life, is at imminent threat of deportation. Sign the petition to #FreePaulWhite & share widely. b.link/FreePaulPetiti…

I just wrote a @LaColectiVA703 letter: Demand ICE #FreePaulWhite!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/demand…

The crisis at Rikers keeps getting worse- unreported violence, lack of access to healthcare, & overcrowding. Even more, there are people still incarcerated for technical parole violations because DOCCS is "disregarded parts of" #LessIsMoreNY. Read more: nytimes.com/2022/03/03/nyr…

We’re calling on @govkathyhochul to implement the 30 for 30 credits system by MAY. September is too long to wait for #LessIsMoreNY to be fully implemented! People who follow the rules of parole should be rewarded with early discharge.

I'm attending a @justine4ny event: NYC Neighbors in Support of Ukraine Info Session. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/nyc-nei…

.@POTUS promised to restore humanity to our immigration system—but we're seeing the opposite. His administration is embracing inhumane policies—like Title 42 & MPP—that inflict cruelty on Black, Brown & Indigenous migrants. We urge @POTUS to reverse course. #CommunitiesNotCages

Cristina became a single mom when her husband was deported. That meant their four children were left without a father. She works so many hours to make ends meet and prays for her husband’s return to the family. The reality of immigrant detention, @JoeBiden #CommunitiesNotCages

While the world watches in horror as people in Ukraine bear the consequences of yet another deadly war, we are reminded that all people, regardless of where they were born & color of their skin, should be welcomed with compassion to seek safety and refuge. #CommunitiesNotCages

ICE's immigration detention system does not need to exist and communities across the country and people currently detained are organizing to end it and build a better future. #CommunitiesNotCages

Lives are in jeopardy under ICE and CBP custody. Every detention and deportation represents a family separation that causes trauma to children, families, and communities. #CommunitiesNotCages

Last night's #participatorydefense meeting was truly powerful. One of our community members who was recently released from Adelanto joined us to celebrate his freedom & another member was able to advocate for himself to get his charges dismissed. #WeGotUs #MutualAid

Family separations STILL happen every day when DHS locks people up in ICE detention or deports them back to the very place they were fleeing. @Potus #FreeThemAll from ICE & CBP custody & ensure protections for ALL immigrant communities. #CommunitiesNotCages

On @POTUS's watch, over 2 million people have been deported or expelled, including tens of thousands of Black asylum seekers who have been denied the opportunity to seek safety. Shameful! #CommunitiesNotCages

Black migrants are deported 2x as often & face inhumane, violent treatment at our border. @POTUS #ProtectDontDeport! #CommunitiesNotCages
