POTUS' new order places politics before people, increasing asylum restrictions, putting people in danger and betraying our duty to asylum seekers as well as make it harder to access legal pathways to immigration.

While we celebrate our lived ones, we honor that Pride began as an act of resistance and unite in the continued fight against the rampant state violence experienced by marginalized communities.⁠ #blacktranslivesmatter #happypride

"Juneteenth should serve as both a holiday to celebrate but also to reflect on the promises that remain unfulfilled by this country.⁠" —Jermaine Fowler at @TheHumanityArchive. If you haven't checked out his book or podcast, we highly recommend it!⁠

Repost from the folks at TIRRC.

SB214 will allow the law to live up to its original promise: That the things survivors were forced to do while being victimized can be removed from their records, so that those abuses will no longer cast shadows on their accomplishments.⁠ ⁠

This tactic is not the answer to the problem! We are against this ruling, the arrests, the jail time, & the camp sweeps. "We must transform approaches to homelessness away from criminalization & towards care." (Nat'l Homelessness L.C.) #endhumantrafficking #housingnothandcuffs

Many child survivors were vulnerable because their basic needs were not met, including housing, food, a safe and accepting community, or mental health support. ⁠ ⁠

The law we have been (patiently?) waiting for was signed into law. Thank you to every survivor, advocate, legislator, friend, and colleague that helped to make this happen. We cannot wait to see where this law takes us and the survivors we have the pleasure of serving.

Kroger invited AO staff to a ribbon-cutting ceremony this morning AND surprised us with this fantastic donation! Thank you for the recognition, @Krogerco! For fans of The Office, don't worry, the giant check is reusable! 😉

From FNUSA's book club--: Did you know colonialism is the origin of today's racist systems? It's when 1 country invades another, exploiting resources & people. The wealth gap between colonizing & colonized countries persists, creating trafficking vulnerabilities.

Been so busy this year w/ rad conferences! AO felt particularly honored to be asked to present at the Annual Nat'l Association of Blacks in Criminal Justice Conference in NOLA alongside the lovely Chelsea Gaffey, Columbus' Juvenile Justice HT Liaison. #endhumantrafficking
