On September 20th 2017, Hurricane Maria tore through communities in Puerto Rico, devastating the Island. Maria knocked out 100 percent of the electrical grid, and 95 percent of cellphone t owers in Puerto Rico, triggering a collapse in emergency communications. A federal report found that FEMA staff were not ready to support recovery efforts in #PuertoRico, including not having enough bilingual employees to communicate with local residents or translate documents. While officials initially attributed 64 deaths to the storm, the humanitarian and administrative crisis on the island led to...

La administración Trump ha seguido ejecutando sus inhumanas estrategias de inmigración deportando a 431 padres y separándolos de sus hijos en la frontera mientras solicitaban recursos migratorios como el asilo. Estos niños pueden ser permanentemente separados de sus familias y ahora sabemos que algunos padres que fueron enviados de vuelta a los mismos países de los que buscaban santuario, fueron engañados por el gobierno con la falsa promesa de que les iban a devolver a sus hijos. Dos pequeños hermanos fueron llevados abruptamente en avión a la frontera esta semana para reunirlos con su madre...

Donald Trump just said that undocumented immigrants “aren't people,” that they are “animals." We didn't think it was possible, but things have just taken a turn for the worse. Enough is enough. This isn't just offensive. History shows this particular dehumanizing language can lead to genocide . Immigrants with and without papers are part of our communities, families, lives, and country. Trump’s words and immigration policies are beyond NOT okay. *Tell Congress it’s NOT okay to call anyone an “animal” as President Trump just did -- and urge them to stop his destructive and unconscionable...

TPS holders are our friends, employers, family, and neighbors. The majority of TPS holders have been in the U.S. for many years, even decades, because their countries are unsafe. TPS holders have built homes, businesses, and families here. In fact, TPS holders from just three countries, El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti (the three largest TPS populations), have 273,000 children who grew up in the United States and know no other home. If TPS is terminated, these parents will be forced to decide whether to be separated from their children or bring them into harm’s way. It is morally wrong to...

*/ We have an urgent matter for you! Every week, more than 850 DREAMers, (young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children and were raised here), have been losing their legal status -- the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, (DACA) -- and with it their protections and their ability to work, drive and attend college.[1] You may have heard that on Tuesday, a U.S. District Judge in San Francisco placed a preliminary injunction, blocking the government’s termination of DACA.[2] This is only a temporary reprieve as we expect the Trump administration to appeal this decision. We can’t...
