We've said it before, and we'll say it again: ICE has NO place in schools, hospitals, or places of worship. Our communities will continue to organize, resist, and demand safety for all. https://t.co/U5ckjz585s

The Trump administration is attacking our communities at a dizzying pace. It's clear that they want to shock and numb the country into submission. We refuse to let that happen. We will fight back. We will be prepared. And we will look out for each other.

Everyone should be able to seek health care without fear. ICE enforcement in hospitals, schools, and places of worship is cruel and makes our communities less safe.

BREAKING: Oklahoma's State Board of Education approved a proposal requiring parents to prove citizenship when enrolling kids in school. This direct violation of rights is a clear attempt to terrorize families across the state. We urge the OK legislature & governor to reject it.
