Children should be with their parents and families--not held in cages, alone, terrified and neglected. America, let’s show the world we’re better than this. It’s time for a fair and humane immigration system. #CloseTheCamps #PutFamiliesFirst

We did it! After 13 miles we made it to Trenton, #NewJersey, our final destination for the day.
We are that much closer to the Supreme Court, where on Nov. 12 the future of #DACA will be discussed. We urge #SCOTUS to reinstate the programs to its original form. – at Trenton, NJ

Senator @BernieSanders calls for raising the minimum wage to a living wage in the #DemDebate
It's time for the Senate to take up the #RaiseTheWage Act and give every American a $15 floor!

If you think issues that matter to working people should be part of the #DemDebate, RT and tell @ABCNews & @UnivisionNews to ask the candidates how their economic plans put working people first and include #UnionsForAll.
North Carolinians visited @RepTedBudd in DC today to share how the Trump admin’s continuous attack on immigrants and people of color have affected them, their family & community back home. Rep Tedd, will you stand up for them? #PutFamiliesFirst #DreamAndPromiseNow #RaiseTheWage

Early this morning ☀️ over 100 Latinx leaders made the 5-hour drive from #NorthCarolina to DC to demand immediate action from @SenThomTillis & @SenatorBurr in providing permanent protections for #TPS #DED holders and #Dreamers. #PutFamiliesFirst #DreamAndPromiseNow

We must stand up & demand a pathway to citizenship for our #Dreamers including the more than 7,000 #DACA recipients in #MA7.
As I fight to #ProtectTheDream in Congress, I encourage all #DACA recipients to renew their status today! ⬇️ uscis.gov/humanitarian/defer…

.@1199Mass members won a new contract that raises wages to $16.10/hr, increases paid time off, provides additional training and lifts quality care standards for over 48k home care workers and the families that rely on this essential care. seiu.org/blog/2019/8/massach…
Traumatized communities are trying to recover from the mass raids in Mississippi & the racially motivated massacre in El Paso, yet the Trump admin has decided to launch another cruel attack on innocent children and families. The cruelty knows no end. #ProtectMigrantChildren

BREAKING: Trump administration is taking $271 million away from other agencies -- including $155 mil from FEMA -- to fund @ICEgov's campaign of mass incarceration of immigrants & families. We demand Congress #DefundHate NOW! @JuliaEAinsley @frankthorp nbcnews.com/politics/immigra…
Demasiados niños ya han muerto en nuestras fronteras y la nueva regla de Trump para mantener a las familias en detención indefinidamente solamente aumentará esto. Las políticas migratorias de Trump son inhumanas y antiamericanas. Debemos detener esta regla inmediatamente.

"Abominable, heartless, immoral" - strong words from Yusufi Vali, of @BOSImmigrants, in response to termination of medical deferred action for critically ill patients.

A powerful call to action from @SenMarkey to ALL Americans to fight to save the critically ill patients whom this administration wants to deport to their deaths. Not now, not ever!
Read @jgonzalez_rojas @NLIRH in @PostOpinions: "How can we have any confidence in this administration’s ability to treat detained migrants with any humanity? This is the same administration under whose watch young children have died." wapo.st/2NzP6S7 #ProtectFamilies
