🥁 🥁 CHIRLA and partners continue to fight for citizenship for all and immigrant justice! 🥁 🥁 On November 7, 2024, we launched our 40 Days of Action to urge our elected officials to support immigrants, say NO to deportations, and YES to mass legalization during the lame-duck session! 📢🗣️ Following the election results, we ask our political leaders to truly stand with immigrants and support the bills that would provide a broad pathway to citizenship to ALL immigrants who have worked and lived in the U.S. for decades. 🦋✊🏽 ➡️ Join our fight at CHIRLA.org/registry 📢 #CitizenshipNow #DefyDeportations #MassLegalization

Immigrants are RESILIENT, DEFIANT, and UNITED. We will NEVER stop fighting for our communities! 🦋🫂 In the face of rising anti-immigrant sentiment and hate, immigrant and social justice organizations across California gathered at LA City Hall last week after the election to send a clear message: we will keep protecting our communities, sharing resources, and rising against these attacks! We are human beings with families. We are mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, grandparents, students, educators, essential workers—and so much more. When our communities are under attack, we will ALWAYS fight back. ✊🏽 To all immigrants in the U.S.: You are not alone. Religious leaders, unions, and social justice organizations stand with you. 🦋🫂🧡 #SomosCHIRLA #ImmigrantsBelong #WelcomeImmigrants #DefyDeportations #CitizenshipNow CALIFORNIA IMMIGRANT POLICY CENTER Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI) Pilipino Workers Center of Southern California (PWC) Central American Resource Center - Los Angeles (CARECEN-LA) CLUE Justice Women's March Action CAIR-CA

The United States needs to prioritize strengthening our communities instead of dismantling them. A mass deportation strategy would have detrimental effects on families and communities nationwide. 🦋 Immigrants play a crucial role in our society and are essential to our communities! This is our home, and we deserve a pathway to citizenship! ✊🏽 Source: American Immigration Council #CitizenshipNow #UpdateTheRegistry
