José carries the legacy of his late brother Ismael, who passed away after being detained at Adelanto Detention Center. 🕯️🪽

His story is a reminder: raids & inhumane detentions must end. Our communities deserve justice and a pathway to citizenship. 🫂

The Trump-Vance Admin is weaponizing student debt to attack public servants and civil society.

Their new PSLF rule is an illegal attempt to attack orgs and cities they disagree with.

We’re suing to stop them. protectborrowers.org/cities-worke...

What we continue to witness is completely unacceptable and inhumane.

Places of care especially spaces where children are being cared for should be safe spaces for all. These actions will only instill fear in caretakers, children, parents and their families.

Meet Jane. Her life changed the day ICE kidnapped her loved one.

This is what an inhumane immigration system does — it tears communities & families apart.

The raids must end! Immigrants deserve dignity, safety, & a just pathway to citizenship now.
