Just like you, I woke up today to the terrible news that Donald Trump is the President-Elect of the United States. A cloud of uncertainty hovers over our lives as undocumented immigrant workers. Fear, felt across the country. Among my family and friends. But here's one thing bringing me hope: Movimiento Cosecha has been fighting for the immigrant community since Trump’s first term. The last time he was president, undocumented organizers in my state of New Jersey mobilized at historic levels to win driver's licenses for all and state-funded aid for workers affected by the pandemic. Cosecha is movement run by undocumented workers, mostly single women, who day by day organize their communities, lead mutual aid hubs, join campaign calls, and fight back to protect their families. Trump promised to carry out a mass deportation against immigrants. He promised to tear families apart, to put children in cages, and to set up horrific concentration camps for immigrant families along the southern border. We promise you that we will not be moved. We recommit to protecting and fighting for our communities at any cost. Movimiento Cosecha won’t allow Trump’s plans to be successful. We’re fighting for a better world for everyone - a world where everyone can live without fear and with respect and dignity, regardless of their immigration status. With only two months left before his presidency, build with us and help us fight back. Become a monthly sustainer or make a one-time donation now to support our work: |
