đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Called Rep Pete Olson and Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I object to imposing asylum application fees on people fleeing persecution and danger. Not only is this amoral and inhumane, the American Immigration Lawyers Association says the president’s plan “contradicts international law” and still “fails to ensure orderly processing.” I want you to stop the president’s asylum fee and instead heal the root causes of life-threatening conditions in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Email to Rep Pete Olson:
I absolutely oppose giving Trump’s deportation machine more money. The administration doesn’t need billions more in DHS funding for detentions, deportations, and immigration enforcement agents. Just say NO to Trump’s supplemental funding request.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Thank you note to Pat Shanahan, Acting Secretary of Defense, for saying publicly that the military should move away from the border to focus on its primary missions.
Address: 1000 Defense Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301-1000

(This phone mail box was full but I will continue to call.)
Called: Deborah Achim, Deputy Field Office Director, 210-283-4723.
I understand that ICE’s Karnes Detention Center is preventing RAICES (Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services) from meeting with individuals detained, denying them their right to legal aid.
I’m a citizen and taxpayer taxpayer from right here in Texas calling to ask you to restore legal access to people detained at Karnes. Thank you.

Spread the Vote and its Project ID initiative helps citizens obtain IDs for required voting. At $40 per ID, today I helped one person get the needed ID to vote.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Postcard to Rep Pete Olson:
Whether it’s his actions to obstruct the Mueller investigation or his demands that members of his administration stonewall Congressional investigations, Trump has committed acts that should be addressed in an impeachment investigation. Please support Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s resolution, H.R. 257, to open an impeachment inquiry.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Postcards to Senators Cornyn and Cruz:
I value justice for Native tribes who persist in seeking return of land that was seized decades ago. Their cause finally moved forward when the House passed H.R. 375, which restores the Interior Secretary’s authority to move land into trust for all federally recognized tribal nations and reaffirms existing Indian trust lands. I’m asking you to co-sponsor this “Carcieri Clean Fix” in the Senate and advocate for its passage. Thank you.

Thank you note to Stacey Abrams:
Thank you for working to empower all voters and ensure the protection of voting rights for all. We must end voter suppression and empower all citizens to participate in our democracy.
Address: ℅ Fair Fight Action, 1270 Caroline Street NE, Suite D120-430, Atlanta, Georgia 30307

I'm calling today to tell the Congressman to reject the White House’s supplemental budget request for the Department of Homeland Security. ICE and CBP have a long track record of abuse and death, mismanagement of funds, and a culture of violence. My tax dollars should not be spent to detain, deport, or terrorize immigrant communities.

đŸ”¥Resistance. Every. Day.đŸ”¥

Postcards to State Senator Joan Huffman and State Rep. Phil Stephenson:
I value nutrition and health for all. The Women, Infants, and Children program (WIC) assists people to overcome food insecurity and contributes to more stable homes and better education, I’m concerned that only 57.5 percent of eligible people in our state actually receive WIC benefits. I’d like you to propose new WIC outreach efforts to non-English speakers so that more Texas residents will live healthier lives. Thank you.
