Immigration can be used as leverage in abusive relationships: Weaponizing a lack of legal status, a threat to jeopardize proceedings or used to coerce someone to stay. This story illustrates how abusers are more empowered by anti-immigrant rhetoric and actions.

Excellent tips
Reminder when donating to food banks:
Look for -
Vegetarian
Gluten free
Ethnic
Diabetic friendly
etc
Try to get stuff that *doesn't* need to be mixed with something (like milk, butter, etc) in case they don't have that.
Donate spices!!
Lots of folks donate beans, pasta, etc. A variety is good.

🟣 T visas for victims of human trafficking

Programs meant to make it easier to prosecute domestic violence and trafficking cases are under threat. The safety of thousands of immigrant women is at risk.

When you triage as many cases as as we & @projectex.me do through our joint Community Care initiative, you understand how many lives are saved & helped through simple access to reproductive healthcare like this. This helps communities and reduces trauma for DV survivors. Forced labor has a name. 💁🏾
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.
Now, we continue fulfilling that promise.
Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
