January 28, 2019 Be careful with the weather these next few days! Check with your local weather on updates.
There was agreement for re-opening the federal government last week and with your support, President Trump got ZERO funding for his border wall pet project.
Please take the time to call our U.S. Senators and remind them you are still following this and you do NOT want a border wall.
Last week, law enforcement officials called on the end to the shutdown without the wall. They also urge for commonsense immigration reform and commonsense border security that would be more effective than a wall. Read that here.
As we continue 2019, please take a look below at many ways in which you would be able to engage and defend our nation’s democracy. Now, more than ever, is your voice needed and your actions with our efforts are essential. Please join us!
Please join our advocacy efforts by joining our texting campaign. Please stay engaged and respond to important actions by texting the word IMMIGRATION to the short code number 864-237. This will add you to our texting program to ensure we speak up at needed times.
Please consider the GALEO Latino Community Development Fund as you prioritize your end of the year donations. Please follow the link here: https://glcdf.ejoinme.org/Donations
Thank you for your support!
