“Using the budget-reconciliation process,
Republican lawmakers are now preparing to lavish ICE with a colossal funding
increase — enough to pay for the kind of social and
demographic transformation of the United States that immigration
hard-liners have long fantasized about
achieving.”1
Friend,
This week Congress is back from recess, and all of their focus will
be on the budget — with committees meeting to discuss what programs to
fund or cut.
If Trump and Republicans get their way, we'll likely see increases
in mass detention and deportation, funded by cuts to critical services
like healthcare and food assistance.
Together, we’re fighting back. There are two ways you can
send a clear message right now to oppose Trump’s cruelty:
-
Join
a May Day event in your community to demonstrate unity, solidarity,
and power. May Day is a joyful, empowering celebration of
workers, immigrants, and all our neighbors — and there are events
around the country.
-
Send a direct message to your members of Congress to say, “Fund
communities, not deportation!” Every member of Congress
needs to hear from their constituents — demanding they reject all
additional funding for Trump’s dangerous agenda.
Whether you join us in the streets for May Day or take
digital action to protect our communities, thank you for being part of
the Jewish resistance.
In solidarity,
 Hannah Klein
Immigration Campaign Manager,
