Military Families Politics & Policy

July 7, 2020

When one’s child joins the military, a parent may worry about their loved one risking their life in active combat situations as part of their service. What no parent should fear is that their child serving their country could be harassed and killed at the hands of a fellow soldier. Sexual harassment in the US military must end! Demand Justice for Vanessa Guillen NOW! 20-year-old Vanessa Guillen joined the US Army in 2018 to serve our country as a private first class in the 3rd Cavalry Regiment at Fort Hood in Texas.

public charge

January 30, 2020

¿Qué está pasando? El 27 de enero de 2020, después de ser bloqueada por tribunales inferiores, la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos canceló temporalmente la orden de prohibición preliminar que evitaba que la regla de carga pública del DHS entrara en efecto, haciendo que la situación de los inmigrantes de bajos ingresos que tratan de entrar o de permanecer legalmente en Estados Unidos sea aún más difícil. La regla de carga pública ha sido diseñada para declararle la guerra a los inmigrantes convirtiendo en armas programas esenciales como salud, vivienda y nutrición y otros programas que permiten...

public charge

January 30, 2020

What’s happening? On January 27, 2020, after being blocked by lower courts, the United States Supreme Court temporarily set aside the preliminary injunctions that prevented DHS’ public charge rule from taking effect, making it more difficult for low-income immigrants seeking to come to or trying to remain legally in the United States. The public charge rule is designed to wage war on immigrants by weaponizing health, housing, nutrition and other essential programs that allow hardworking moms and families to thrive. It forces families with children to choose between reuniting with loved ones...

¿Qué está pasando? El mes pasado, los tribunales de distrito bloquearon la regla de la administración Trump que intentaba negar las tarjetas verdes (o green cards) a los inmigrantes que no cumplen con las pruebas de ingresos o utilizan los programas públicos. Esta victoria para los inmigrantes significa que la regla que debía entrar en vigencia el 15 de octubre se detendrá mientras continúan las batallas judiciales. Todavía es importante entender cómo la regla podría haber afectado a quienes solicitan las tarjetas verdes (green cards). Si bien el cambio de política amplía los programas...

If the public charge rule published by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on October 10 is finalized in its proposed form, it would mark a significant departure from the government’s current policy. We answer frequently asked questions about the proposed public charge rule here.

Below, we share just a few of the many, many emails we received from MomsRising/MamásconPoder supporters today who participated in our nationwide action to deliver letters and baby toys or blankets to local Wells Fargo and Chase bank branches. The letters express outrage that these banks are financing Core Civic and Geo Group, two of the private prisons that profit from the painful, horrifying separation of families who are immigrants or refugees to the U.S. The toys and blankets represent the children who should be able to sleep safely at home with their families, but instead are wrongly...

Today is the day we SHOW UP! There are too many families depending on us. This is our chance to tell Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase to stop financing Geo Group and and CoreCivic, two of the largest for-profit prison and detention corporations, that are profiting off taking parents away from children and putting families behind bars. These banks need to know that this is NOT okay with us as consumers or as people living in this nation. Whether it’s on your way to dropping the kids off at school or on your lunch break, your delivery of the letter provided and a bedtime item if you have one (...

Please see our UPDATED FAQ on public charge, published here: https://www.momsrising.org/blog/updated-faq-on-public-charge-december-2018 *** On September 22, 2018, the Trump Administration posted a proposed new rule changing the definition of who may be considered a “public charge” in the U.S. Earlier this year, the Trump Administration already made some changes regarding how public charge is interpreted abroad. If the rule is finalized in its proposed form, this would mark a significant and harmful departure from the current policy. For over a hundred years, the government has recognized...

Every child deserves to be tucked into a safe bed to sleep. But for-profit prison and detention corporations are profiting off taking parents away from children and putting families behind bars. It’s time for Wells Fargo and JPMorgan Chase to stop financing Geo Group and and CoreCivic, two of the largest for-profit prison and detention corporations. Whether you're paying to incarcerate families, or to lock parents away from their families, this is not who we strive to be as a nation.

DISCLAIMER: This FAQ has legal information, not legal advice. To know what’s best for your particular situation, contact a lawyer. The Trump Administration has proposed new rules that would force immigrant families to choose between meeting basic needs, like food and health care, or being together in the U.S. with people they love. If approved, applicants or their family members could be denied immigration status if they use – or even apply for – public health care or nutrition programs. This reckless proposal would change current U.S. immigration “public charge” policy. Dangerous...

We condemn President Trump's destructive racism and call on Congress to stand with immigrant communities and with the integrity of our nation. Not only is Donald Trump’s racism dangerously harmful but it also puts lives at risk because he’s putting his racism into policy that fractures families and hatefully targets entire communities. Donald Trump is hurting America. The words at the base of our Statue of Liberty welcomes the “tempest-tossed” to our shores, and the idea of the American Dream is a beacon of hope for many of us. The Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program embodies that spirit...

Necesitamos la mayor cantidad de atención posible a un asunto que está ocurriendo en Washington, D.C. y que está recibiendo muy poca cobertura en los noticieros, y necesitamos tu ayuda ahora mismo para correr la voz. La administración Trump está quitándole el Estatus de Protección Temporal (TPS, por sus siglas en inglés) a miles de familias y está preparándose para enviar a los beneficiarios del TPS de vuelta a situaciones muy peligrosas, ya sea la guerra en Sudán o la devastación que dejaron los huracanes en Haití. Hay muchas vidas están en peligro. Las palabras que aparecen en la base de la...
