Join the Migrants' Day 'Tweet Storm' Today
Today, December 18, is International Migrants' Day -- a day when worldwide we recognize and celebrate the role and contributions of migrants in our communities and countries -- and mourn the loss of of those whose often desperate journeys have taken their lives. The UN theme for today is "Migration with Dignity".
Please join us on International Migrants' Day in calling for justice and dignity for ALL migrants in the U.S. and globally.
Appropriately today, communities across this country are rallying in support of asylum seekers, organizing solidarity trips to the border, calling for an end to border militarization funding, for an end to detention, and to provide protection for TPS (Temporary Protected Status) holders who may face deportation this year. (Click here for organizational sign-on to letter to Congress for TPS holders. Deadline 8 pm Eastern today)
Shout out against racism and xenophobia on social media, in community activities and actions. Let's lift up our demands for an end to immigrant detentions and deportations, and for a halt and rollback of border militarization.
Share your messages, photos and activities for migrant rights and justice throughout the day on both Twitter and Facebook with these tags:
