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...

En Septiembre 22, 2018 la administración Trump ha propuesto nuevas reglas que obligarían a las familias inmigrantes a escoger entre satisfacer sus necesidades básicas (como alimentación y atención médica) o estar con sus seres queridos en EE.UU. Si estas reglas son aprobadas, pueden evitar que los solicitantes, o sus familiares, legalicen su estatus migratorio si usan –o solicitan– servicios públicos...

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.

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...

Lives are being put in danger. Today, Monday January 8, 2018, President Trump’s administration, through the U.S Department of Homeland Security (DHS), terminated the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of more than 200,000 Salvadorans. This puts children, moms, dads, families, and people directly in harm’s way. [1] TPS recipients will lose job permits, the ability to attend schools, driver’s licenses, and the protections they applied for and were given by law. This doesn’t just impact TPS recipients: Many TPS recipients live in “mixed status” families and are parents of more than 192,000 U.S...
