CHIRLA

A recent survey by the Othering & Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley and the CHIRLA highlights a significant trend in California: despite rising anti-immigrant sentiments, a strong majority of Californians believe that immigrants are integral to our national identity and that their fundamental rights must be protected, regardless of their immigration status! 🦋🦋 This is a powerful reminder of the values we stand for in our communities, and that we can lead on immigrant inclusion! ✊🏽   Learn more ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gcJvFB97      #Inclusion #Diversity #ImmigrantRights #ImmigrantsBelong #YesToImmigrants #California

Our community power was strong in New Orleans! Last Thursday, ~300 DACA recipients from across the country showed up with great strength and passion for the DACA hearing in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, to defend our existence and our families! ✊🏽    Although we do not have a decision yet, we know that DACA is right and should be protected by the court. We also know that immigrants are ESSENTIAL not only to the economy but also to the communities we are all a part of.    We have built lives here with our families, and no matter what the decision is, WE ARE HERE TO STAY because our home is here!  We will continue to fight not only to defend DACA but to win permanent solutions for ALL our communities.🦋 #HomeIsHere #DefendDACA #CitizenshipNow #ImmigrantRights #ImmigrantsBelong United We Dream FWD.us Immigrants Rising Make the Road Nevada Make the Road New York Make the Road New Jersey
