After years of delay and refusals to undo these harms of the Muslim and African Bans, there’s no excuse now. The Biden administration must move quickly to create and implement a fair and effective visa process for impacted individuals. #NoMuslimBanEver

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled that the Biden admin must undo the harms of the Muslim & African Bans, and reconsider denied visa applications. The Biden admin must do what’s right and develop a fair, effective visa process for our communities.

This Thursday, a U.S. district court is holding a hearing in ongoing court cases seeking to redress the harms of the Muslim ban. Haddy Gassama of @UndocuBlack writes about the challenges thousands of immigrants still face even after the ban was repealed: bit.ly/3PGDnhW

A large large population of India is addicted to the idea of persecuting Muslims. No matter how broken they become, the ecstasy of everyday fascism will make them vote hate. Welcome to reality again

We are outraged. President Biden's decision to set aside half of Afghanistan's frozen reserves to 9/11 families is short-sighted, cruel, and will worsen a catastrophe in progress, affecting millions of Afghans, many of whom are on the verge of starvation. Our statement:

If you believe in democracy, you should make it easier for everyone to vote, even the people who disagree with you. If you don’t believe in democracy, then you have no place in elected office. #FreedomToVoteAct

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 14), which states that everyone has the right to seek and enjoy asylum... The 1951 UN Refugee Convention (and its 1967 Protocol) protects refugees from being returned to countries #humanrights #AsylumSeekers #Haiti

Everyone is talking about “Tax The Rich” because of AOC’s stunt at a gala full of the people she was targeting, where she was invited for free in a free dress… to back up her actual legitimate work on this issue in Congress, and you’re all angry/confused as to why she did it?
