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. There can be no business in abuse. *Sign on here to let us know you’re interested in dropping off a letter,...

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...

¡Ningún civil debe tener acceso a armas de asalto y cargadores de alta capacidad!

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...

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...

Hear more from Priscilla: Stand with young adults who have been here since they were children by protecting the path to citizenship for DREAMers!

The wall. The wall. It’s all we heard about from candidate Trump… and now from President Trump. In fact, now that he’s president, he’s putting his ineffective and xenophobic rhetoric into action by proposing $1.6 billion ($1.6 billion!) for his ridiculous wall on the Southern border - all while proposing enormous cuts to programs that boost our families’ health, nutrition, education, and well-being . This hurts our families, communities, and economy. We need YOU to stand up and say #BoostFamiliesNotFear! Sign our letter to Congress today! Here’s the lowdown: President Trump released his...

Joana, at only one and a half years old, was still nursing when ICE agents separated her from her mother after they crossed the border seeking safety. The toddler was finally reunited with her mother after three devastatingly long months of separation. Outrageous! Trump has just proposed that the Department of Homeland Security enact a policy of purposefully separating children and mothers who are seeking asylum at our southern border . Let’s get one thing straight here: Many of the mothers and children seeking safety at our southern border are fleeing what has become known as the Northern...
