LGBTQ+ immigrants face higher rates of violence, discrimination, and bias. We must create an asylum system that welcomes all and does not restrict asylum access. Take action and donate today: https://t.co/fJxANIRwDH

PS Performative solidarity for political gain is also antisemitism.

Let's try this again, Kevin this time with the courage to include the long history in your own party. It's true that the US has a long history of antisemitism. It'd be helpful if you challenged it, where you have some influence.

Several House Democrats have a long history of anti-semitic remarks. It is absolutely unacceptable. Anti-semitism has no place in the United States Congress.

No person should have to flee because of who they love or who they are. If they must flee, then we should #WelcomeWithDignity and create humane asylum policies and have national policies that honor LGBTQ+ lives. #PrideMonth

This International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, we've put together this thread, to create awareness about micro-aggressions against the LGBTQIA+ community - which people don't realise are harmful #IDAHOBIT (1/7)

I am humbled and grateful that I have some bold, loving and brave colleagues that have also embraced a gate-opening model of Judaism rather than the gate-keeping version many of us were trained to employ.

How we welcome is a reflection of who we are. The end of #Title42 should not lead to more punitive policies. Read our statement: https://t.co/rSBwByXUA1

Today, we should be celebrating the end of the racist and deadly #Title42 policy. However, @POTUS new asylum ban rule that will take effect at midnight leaves little room for celebration. How we welcome is a reflection of who we are Read our statement: https://t.co/rSBwByYspz

From kids in cages, to families ripped apart, to leaked audio of kid's piercing cries, our gov't has failed children seeking safety many times. @POTUS asylum ban will be more of the same & put children in harm’s way. #NoAsylumBan 🚨 SPEAK OUT NOW 📢 https://t.co/F776dtlhfA

Black & LGBTQIA+ migrants seeking asylum face unconscionable persecution on their migration journeys. @POTUS asylum ban will leave them stranded. The gov't is choosing violence. #NoAsylumBan Take Action: https://t.co/F776dtlhfA
